What's That Supposed To Mean?

When I was travelling on the bus home from work today I felt like doing a big entry to this very blog and write about some of the nice music I've heard over the pass few days. I got a new album in the mail (will mention which in another entry, it's not of any significance in this one) and I was in a particulary good mood. Then I came home and choose to listen to a song someone sent me a while ago that I hadn't listened to yet, and then this entry's future was re-written in an instant.

Now, let's bring up Kaizers Orchestra. This band originates from Norway and have recently struck some fame and fortune (?) among the type of music people that are aware of "what is the shit at the moment" and I decided to check them out and so my friend Mats sent me the song "Ompa Til Du Dør".

Is this serious? People listen to this? Haha, really?

Is it a case of "it's so bad that it's good"? Doesn't appear so.
People actually seem to like - LIKE - this band. I have listened to "Ompa Til Du Dør" about 5-6 times now and it still baffles me. Who the hell did they murder to get the keys to a record studio? Why didn't anyone with taste put down their foot before this reached the general masses? How the f-word can music be this bad?

This is where we are at. Seven (I think it's seven) random norwegians bang everything they can see and sing a song about a norwegian dance and people - defying all laws of taste - actually listen to it. PAY MONEY to hear more. It's insane. It blows my goddamn mind. Kaizers Orchestra's "Ompa Til Du Dør" is easily one of the five worst songs I've heard in my entire life and I've heard quite a few so that's saying something. Is it me? Am I not seeing what's to see? It seems so obvious to everyone else, but I can't see what the freaking deal is. Goddamn it.

Nagisa Ni Te sings "Me, On The Beach" and that heals me...
