That's exactly what happened to me. I guess I'm not the only one. Not that it matters, but lately I've been really digging the Velvet Underground, so to speak. They had something in common with tango music: it's a combination of incisive, memorable lyrics, blistering instrumental power, and a very accurate tempo; it's music for smart people who love the beat.
