Notes

thoughts on Ariel Pink's "Mistaken Wedding" / ensuing minor revelations

James:
This guy annoys me!
me:
haha
James:
I don't like his Gainsbourgian cigarette-puffing
me:
hahahahahahaha
James:
I don't care to try and work out what level of meta-reference I'm supposed to appreciate that on
me:
"This musician is smoking a cigarette in a manner I find obtusely referential! What have I done to deserve this?" - James Harvey, 1983 - 2013
James:
WHY HAVE I LOST A YEAR
it's not that it's too obtuse that's the problem
it's that he looks like a cunt
I don't care if he's doing an impression of someone who looks like a cunt
or an impression of someone doing an impression
what hits my eyeballs is
A CUNT
me:
I feel like I'm witnessing what people went through, mentally, when clicking through to Pancaked from LookAtThisFUckingHipster *
James:
haha
sure
me:
just like
GOD DAMMIT
FUCKING.... FUCK
AAAAAA
but very nicely articulated
James:
at least with your thing, there's enough signifiers to let people know it's a funny gag
whereas this guy is just excruciatingly arch
I dunno
to be honest, it didn't bother me that much!
but when I try to talk about it, I realise my vocabularly only has negative words to apply to this guy
I can only articulate negative thoughts
me:
oh, that's a good point
James:
hey ,did you see that I uploaded new youtube poops
