Day 16: A song I used to love but now hate—Pete Standing Alone
30 days of music, but only boards of Canada. Day 16: over half way.
Again, I don't hate any BoC music in the way I hate music by, say, Lighthouse Family. But there are some songs I listen to less than I did.
That's true of everything on their first album proper, Music Has The Right To Children. For many, it's still their best album, and though I might argue, I wouldn't die on that hill.
Even when I did listen, Pete Standing Alone passed me by more than it should. Excellent vintage BoC. Synths like a mountain spring. Drums crunchier than a corporate game studio. Archetypal BoC melodies. And yet another great track name. Pete Standing was a real person.
