Josef K - Fun 'n Frenzy
Brothers, of a sort, to Orange Juice, though gloomier. Josef K had one album that they recorded twice, but strangely enough, they did not play encores. They went out on top and never looked back. "Fun 'n Frenzy" is not the most fun song they ever wrote (that would be "Sorry for Laughing," which is worth tracking down), but it is a statement: the guitar in the first 15 seconds of this song sounds so self-sufficient, giving off a vibe that suggests the guitar itself doesn't care whether it fits into the song or whether you listen to it [the guitar tone is close to that in the Radiohead B-side "Permanent Daylight"]. "Sticking around with the only fun in town," Paul Haig sings, resigned--though if you're stuck, you might as well stay close to someone or something vital.[Buy Entomology]
