Finding the Appeal.


I haven’t yet worked out why I find this Faun track so appealing and keep on playing it. It isn’t the sort of stuff you’d normally associate with them; some might even say it’s bland and commercial. And yet I keep coming back to it.

Maybe it’s the driving rhythm, or Lisa Pawelke’s eyes, or the fact that an attractive woman playing the bagpipes has a certain allure, or maybe it’s the keyboard player’s top hat.

There was a top hat for sale in one of the charity shops last week. £150. Oh well, at least a top hat isn’t entirely artless, craftless and pointless. It can embody all those things, depending on when, where, why, and how you wear it.
