I've recently gotten my hands on the excellent album "Give Up" by The Postal Service. It's been shuttling back and forth between my discman, my stereo, and my laptop for several days now, by which I mean that I like it quite a bit.
One thing keeps bugging me, though. There's a line in the first song, The District Sleeps Alone Tonight, that says, "It seems so out of context/ in this gaudy apartment complex."
I can't hear it without thinking of this Gaudí apartment complex. I've been told that it doesn't fit in with its surroundings very well, but I still can't figure out what that has to do with the rest of the song.

Posted by: Dianna at November 7, 2005 08:46 AMIt makes me wonder what the hell would appear "in context" in the Gaudi apartment complex.
I second the damnation of Dianna.
Posted by: katie at November 7, 2005 11:25 AMA very large pink bee, I think. I'd never seen a closeup of the facade before, but my god, it's even weirder and more honeycombey than I'd imagined.
Damn me if you must. I find it hilarious.
