Matt - could you give an example or two?
Do I think I was pretending to like, for example, Borbetomagus all those years? No; I still like them, particularly live. But I don't feel the need to Brillo my ears as often as I once did.
Well well what a lack of commitment to the cause!!

How do people read the ILM Farrah Abraham love? The music seemed to me transcendentally inept, but people were evidently sincerely enjoying it.

As one of Farrah Abraham's strongest defenders here (I wrote this, though the sentence "Yes, I'm being sarcastic" was added by my editor out of fear/caution), I will say that my enjoyment of her music was 100% sincere, and that listening to it now, it's every bit as whacked and awesome as I remember.

that's how a lot of fans feel about The Room as well

i liked the farrah abraham album. sort of a cross between celebrity pop, vocal techno and outsider music. There was def an element of 'whoa, what the hell is this?'

Without having heard Farrah I thought it was interesting to compare with the love/hate for Laurel Halo's 'Quarantine' around the same time.

there's a correlation there, but they seem to be coming from opposite sides of a naive/deliberate spectrum. strange that there are sonic similarities though
