	Obituary for Gregor Samsa (II)
		Gregor Samsa was recently found to be deceased due to unexplainable phenomena.
		It is rumored that Samsa fell victim to some strange new disease, which attacks its host during the night, and ultimately manifests itself by causing distinguishable changes in the physical appearance of the individual.
		Samsa's younger sister, Grete, apparently suffered the most as a result of the incident because the two of them were so close; however, it is peculiar that she too has been willing to put it all behind her.

		Gregor made a spring, to be as sure as possible of overtaking him; the chief clerk must have divined his intention, for he leaped down several steps and vanished; he was still yelling "Ugh!" and it echoed through the whole staircase.
		Gregor could now hear the two women struggling to shift the heavy old chest from its place, and his sister claiming the greater part of the labor for herself, without listening to the admonitions of her mother who feared she might overstrain herself.
		Gregor's father, groping with his hands, staggered forward and fell into his chair; it looked as if he were stretching himself there for his ordinary evening nap, but the marked jerkings of his head, which was as if uncontrollable, showed that he was far from asleep.

	Metamorphosis by Franz Kafka
		Gregor's father and mother certainly did not want him to starve either, but perhaps it would have been more than they could stand to have any more experience of his feeding than being told about it, and perhaps his sister wanted to spare them what distress she could as they were indeed suffering enough.
		Gregor's sister was exhausted from going out to work, and looking after Gregor as she had done before was even more work for her, but even so his mother ought certainly not to have taken her place.
		Gregor's father staggered back to his seat, feeling his way with his hands, and fell into it; it looked as if he was stretching himself out for his usual evening nap but from the uncontrolled way his head kept nodding it could be seen that he was not sleeping at all.

		Gregor made a dash forward, to be as sure as possible of overtaking him; the chief clerk must have suspected what he was up to, for he leaped down several steps at once and vanished.
		Gregor could now hear the two frail women struggling to shift the heavy old chest from its place, and his sister insisting on doing the greater part of the work herself without listening to the admonitions of her mother, who feared she might overstrain herself.
		Samsa, who perceived that she was eager to begin describing it all in detail, stopped her with a decisive gesture of his outstretched hand.

	The Pretty Gilt Frame: Gregor Samsa's Fear of Intimacy (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Gregor’s definition seems to be a polar opposite to the conventional one; or more simply, he feels the closest connection to the women he can maintain a sizable distance from.
		We are told that Gregor “was struck by the picture of the lady muffled in so much fur and quickly crawled up to it and pressed himself to the glass, which was a good surface to hold on to and comforted his hot belly” (105).
		Gregor’s fear of conventional intimacy is exacerbated to the degree that he now must take the ultimate form of detachment from his mother by not “peer[ing] out from under” the sheet and simply making eye contact with her.

		Gregor Samsa as Functional Deviant A Hypothetical Interpretation by Friedrich Nietzsche Russell McNeil Jan 20, 1995 My dear friends: Suppose all that you have always valued in your lives was shown to you to be: illusion.
		Gregor Samsa has burrowed his way out of the value set that defined his social setting.
		"Gregor was shocked to hear his own voice answering, unmistakably his own voice, but from below an insistent distressed chirping intruded." On page 11 Gregor answers his father's request that he open the door with a clear "No." The response produces a stunned silence and a sob from his sister.

		It is a combination of both physical and nonphysical interpretations of Gregor Samsa’s metamorphosis, however, which produces a multifaceted, enriched perspective on Gregor Samsa as a character, both realistic and allegorical.
		Gregor Samsa is now at once archetypal and individual, and he serves as a more convincing symbol because of the physical credibility, through situation in a realistic, physical world, of the transformation which he undergoes.
		Gregor Samsa is trapped in a foreign body which inhabits both physical and nonphysical realms.

	SparkNotes: The Metamorphosis: Summary
		Gregor Samsa awakes one morning to find that he has been inexplicably transformed into a giant insect.
		No one in the family is fully able to reconcile him- or herself to the insect Gregor, and Gregor is unable to express himself to his family.
		The fear and disgust his presence inspires (the irrational fear of the mammoth cockroach) is a detriment to his mother's health and incites his father to brief fits of violence.

	Insect Dreams - Marc Estrin
		Samsa becomes a witness (or rather: an exhibit) at the Scopes trial, for example, and he winds up working on the Manhattan project in Los Alamos.
		Gregor Samsa, in particular, is a generally impressive and sympathetic character.
		A bit too much is made of Samsa's seeping, unhealing wound (from the apple thrown at him by his father), and too little of his arthropodous appearance (it is noticed when it Estrin needs to make some point with it, but most of the time people seem completely oblivious to Samsa's otherness).

	Fuck yeah! Go team!: Gregor Samsa are video.
		I was going to wait another week or two before gushing over my love of Gregor Samsa, but they debuted a phenomenal video for their "Jeroen Van Aken" track that needed to be addressed.
		In their third full-length album in seven years, Gregor Samsa takes a new approach to composition, both in process and instrumentation.
		In Rest, Gregor Samsa expand on their affinity for minimal, classical instrumentation mixed with mangled and manipulated sound through integration of new instruments such as the celesta, clarinet, classical voice and vibraphone.

	Amazon.com: Gregor Samsa: Gregor Samsa: Music
		With long standing ties to Richmond, VA experimental underground, Gregor Samsa blends the dynamic range of Godspeed You Black Emperor, the melodic subtleties of Slowdive, and the swirling guitar maelstrom of My Bloody Valentine into a fusion of hushed atmospherics and disorienting noisescapes.
		Gregor Samsa at first sound reminds me greatly of the band that "post rock" was first attributed to: Bark Psychosis.
		This CD lacks originality and vision and Gregor Samsa need to disband stop distributing their crap to the poor unsuspecting world.

		Gregor Samsa's long-awaited full length was recorded upwards of 18 months ago but sat idle while the band toured, took time off, and generally decided what to do next.
		In the interim, a split with Red Sparrowes was released and quickly sold out, but the band is just finally issuing its phenomenal debut, which features a mix of hushed beauty, dark, dense melodies, and soft, co-ed vocals.
		It may not be a new formula, but Gregor Samsa manage to breathe some life into it.

		On this effort, there are 12 total Gregors (though I think only seven are official), and they all somehow contributed their bits to the music through email between various U.S. cities.

		While their music is of the same atmospheric nature of the ghosts of the previous mentioned bands, Gregor Samsa actually sing (beautiful harmonies at that) and they sing in English.
		In fact, I dare say that Gregor Samsa has Mogwai on speed dial so they can call and make sure their not playing the same songs.
		And while some say imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, Gregor Samsa leaves doubt on the faces of many that they are actually flattering Mogwai, Godspeed, or Sigur Ros.

		Musically GREGOR SAMSA is mostly acoustic, almost pastoral, close to MOGWAI and MONO but without hardcore backs.
		Gregor Samsa bravely walk the line, and never fall onto the uglier half.
		The band Gregor Samsa reminds me quite a bit of Sigur Rós but with vocals that are closer to the sad and earthy sound of Efrim Menuck in his A Silver Mt. Zion incarnation.

		He included a few lines of pullout quotes, all of which he genuinely meant, but none of which fit into the story, so that the record company could include a rave review in an ad campaign.
		Although it seems like an album such as 55:12 by Gregor Samsa almost begs not for such brevity, its average song length hovering around 7 minutes, I want to make it entirely clear how I feel about this album before my own mindless rambling starts.
		Gregor Samsa have managed to reinvigorate a genre that even mainstays like Low have grown tried of and moved past.
