i stole this from a user named imomus because it made me think of you:
Hell, yes! Well, no. Hisae and I talked about it over lunch. How does it happen that cultural workers -- like the legendary Japanese loyalists on Pacific islands, unaware that World War II has ended -- soldier on in styles that aren't new enough to be fresh, or old enough to be revived? Look at the reviews Stereolab have been getting for the last decade: basically, every single reviewer demands to know how come no-one's told Stereolab that the war they're fighting is over. They won! And then the world moved on. Yet if Stereolab persist long enough they might become like The Fall: the mountain that Mohammed comes to, rather than the Mohammed who runs after every style bandwaggon.
