This sounds a little bit like the plot to Emmet Otter's Jug Band Christmas.

The Walkmen! Huh, I'd think the Walkmen wasn't your type of thing, esp. the vox, but then I say to myself "that doesn't seem like Tom Ewing's type of thing" all the time, really to the point of meaninglessness. Also: I think "My Old Man" from the same album is even better than "The Rat," even if the latter is what's gotten canonized.

UGH. I thought I had edited that up: I meant to say something like "it doubtlessly is already getting from the indie-cocoon'd". I actually haven't seen anything yet.

Great essay, Tom.

If there is ANYTHING I will cop to being a music-related guilty pleasure, it's the howls of outrage and betrayal that this article is already getting from the indie-cocoon'd. Obviously that wasn't your point, but STILL.

Oh, I think plenty of interesting things happen during subjectivity/objectivity/relativism conversations--even when taken at face value and not treated as some obscure rock fan folkway--but I have trouble seeing the relevance of such discussions to people who aren't religiously or philosophically inclined.
