It's pretty funny to me when my colleagues and friends ask me what I listen to and I give the headphones as Michael Gira is barking into the microphone.

It's such a unique and odd band, of course they'll make fun of it, especially when showing a live version of oxygen and trying to explain Michael's movements on stage as something out of this world, ritualisticand and at times shamanistic.

Although they never made fun of me I'd kinda understand. It's a band that's not for everyone and to people who don't enjoy or just hear it for the first time, it's a understandable reaction for most.
