The name of Duran Duran suggests a topic. Although Duran Duran isn't a
particular offender, there seem to be a lot of bands that can't really
produce more than 30 seconds of material for a song - yet they crank out
four or five minutes by repeatrepeatrepeating it. The Motels have a couple
like this - one repeats "...then suddenly last summer..."; the other, "take
the L out of lover and it's over...".
I guess what I don't understand is why
the people who buy this endlessly repeating music either don't
notice or don't mind
or
the bands aren't embarrassed at having so little material for a
song.
OK, flame away if you wish, but I'd like to see what's behind it. Is it
some sort of musical analog of an emerging minimalist movement?
