Every gesture he makes is filtered through this jokey/sincerity dichotomy. I'd agree if like Sufjan or Lady Gaga
nothing says sincerity like...lady gaga???

Merriam-Webster says:

1 : something that happens : occurrence2 : an event or series of events designed to evoke a spontaneous reaction to sensory, emotional, or spiritual stimuli3 : something (as an event) that is particularly interesting, entertaining, or important
Thinking the second and/or third definitions are most relevant to this album.

Hah awesome, love the title/art. Just trying to think what the cover reminds me of...some early-to-mid 80s early CD art by an established artist, no?

Font and color directly ref some 80s album that's been on the tip of my tongue all afternoon. So yes, probably part of a joke.
