They also all have one more thing in common: Aaron Lefkove has never heard a single song by any of them.
(Pictured above, Zork's Tape Bruise, a record by Thee Oh Sees that has given Lefkove countless inspiration despite the fact that he has never listened to it)
Perhaps Lefkove's greatest inspiration has come from Ganglians. He may have never listened to these Sacto-bros play a single note, but the idea of an indie-world, full of weird punks and whacky hijinks has captured his imagination and taken hold of him. He calls it Ganglian's Island.
This world was first immortalized in a simple thread on the Music Board of Terminal Boredom, a place Lefkove frequents often to cheer up even the most bitter record collector with brilliantly placed GIFs and JPGs.
The epic post, transcribed below:
GANGLIAN'S ISLAND...
WITH:
GANGLIANS!
THE SKIPPER TOO!
THE MILLIONAIRE & HIS WIFE!
THE MOVIE STAR!
PROFESSOR & MARYANNE
Ganglians Island surely seems like a magical place, and perhaps one day Lefkove will make his dream a reality. He has already imagined himself there, as he also said on Terminal boredom:
"I'm just here chillin by the waterfall on Ganglian's Island..."
When asked to elaborate on the insanity that surely exists on this Ganglian's Island that Lefkove has imagined, he simply said to me:
"its like an episode of Lost starring Kurt Vile"
I can only hope it truly is.
