So what are you telling me, no one else here has some form of guilty pleasure in their music collections? If I started looking through your stacks am I going to find nothing but Big Star and Velvet Underground records? All on Japanese virgin vinyl of course. Bullshit, there's a Pat Benatar record in there somewhere, I can smell it. The only difference between your taste in shitty pop music and Davids is that you don't have to defend yours in public.
I've only listened to Icky Thump once all the way through, but I'm just not getting the toe tapping sensation out of it that I look for in a stripes record. Jack just seems to be getting weirder and more self indulgent as the years go by. I guess that makes it art.
