Our Ironic Pleasures


One of many problems with so-called ‘guilty pleasures’ is they not only say "I like better music than you," but say "I like the same music better than you do." In doing so they claim a "correct" experience of art, which is to say an ironic one that denigrates any sincere truth another has taken from it.

If this is all some elaborate scheme to get me to approve of your Nequik addiction, you've got me figured all wrong, brother.

It's time to face facts Darryl: you have a problem. We love you and we're here to help.

It's also time to face facts, Steve: nobody else is coming to our intervention blog.
