Whatever you think of the music of the band Six Parts Seven, you might have an opinion on the idea of direct and unironic music that exists simply to "curl up inside your ear" and make you happy, as bandleader Al Karpinski said during their in-studio performance. Is there enough room in rock for music that is unabashedly pretty? Is pretty "uncool?" Personally, not only do I not think so, but I'm a bit tired of a particular prejudice I perceive against stuff that might be described as "lovely" or "elegant." Those aren't very rock 'n roll words, in a traditional sense. But I think rock is big enough for those adjectives.
If you listened to Six Parts Seven's in-studio today, I hope you enjoyed it. I thought it went quite nicely with the snow.
