Clarification


I don't deny that Beck is insanely talented. It's just that I have serious issues with pretentious poser boy-types. I feel the same way about Darren Aronofsky. It's like, okay, we get it, we know that you're clever and different and occupy a separate reality. You can take off that...tie thing now. And then they go and make something really beautiful and raw like Record Club or The Wrestler. And you realize that pretentious poser boys are just sort of sensitive and insecure and that there's often a definitive trajectory from insecure poser to really sensitive poet, it's just that it takes a while to unearth sometimes. And then you like them even more. Reluctantly, though.
