in defence of pop music, again

Read this slowly. Let the words arrive before you decide what they mean.

pretending not to like a good song has never made anybody more intelligent. #

Somebody made The Face tonight when I said I like Britney.

Again.

`”But you listen to hardcore.”`

We’ve covered this.

What is the proposed mechanism here? Do my ears reject pop production because they have previously heard Nosferatu? Christina can actually sing her face off. Britney records have hooks engineered with almost frightening precision. Garbage does something completely different. Depeche Mode another thing. Techno another. Hardcore another. Why would I voluntarily close rooms in my own head to maintain a consistent costume for other people?

I don’t care if something is commercial. I care if I like it.

There.

Annual statement issued.

Remember me, Eclipse.

Why?

Because every thought leaves a trace. If something moved you, disturbed you, softened you, or made you think, leave it here, quietly.
