lots of people like mainstream pop music, thats fine by me. i might not want to listen to it and i feel justified in criticising the hell out of a lot of artists but as for looking down my noses at "normal people", well fuck that, thats not what i'm about at all.

It's not so difficult to conceive of a butcher (FUCK, he works with his HANDS!!!) with an enormous, enviable record collection, a penchant for serrano ham and tapenade and a trendy haircut, is it? Only on Dissensus, where everyone should know their place.
