These are all misnomers. Laying aside the entire argument as to how and why music can or even should be subversive in the first place, it's possible to argue that the whole point of the Duruttis' devotion to the subjective and fragrantly lyrical was always essentially subversive. There's screaming feedback on some tracks, Heavy Metal guitar, Spanish picking. It's not just this ethereal trip. It's not anything.
People are so obsessed with form.
You know the stuff. You see people going to concerts, dressed in the way they think they should dress, purely because of pre-conceived notions of what music is, because they're so obsessed with pinning music down, stereotyping it by form and preserving it in aspic. It enables us to forget that as well as there being some great classical music, there is some dreadful bollocks classical music, as there is with all types of music. Don't listen to the form, never listen to the form, listen to the content. Don't listen to the style, the tradition, the technique, just the content of the music, and then judge.
