Dick time...Who do I NOT want to meet? ...How about every crappy singer/songwriter on myspace. Yeah, I like a lot of music, but I bet I won't like yours(honestly, your pictures are better than your music...I can't decide whether you look better "earnest" or "withdrawn"). Same goes for any person or band who claims to have a "pop sensibility". Every fucking person on earth has a pop sensibiltiy. That's why pop music is so fuckin' popular. Essentially, all your telling me is that you believe you've somehow managed to tap in the vast wasteland of mediocrity...and you know what? I'll bet you're less than mediocre. Abba...now there's a pop sensibility. If you're not Abba...then fuck off. Let's look at my musical interests first, shall we? Should be a goddamn clue...
