Sarcasm was only invented in 1998. Shit, that's going to upset oscar wilde.

Seven or eight years ago, it was hands-down the funniest thing in the magazine; I used to flip directly to it the way I seek out the James Surowiecki page in the New Yorker.

But yeah, it's mad old now.

Anyone who votes one way or the other cause fucking Moby told them to probably shouldn't be in the process in the first place. The more salient thing would be to ask ostensibly apolitical musicians how politics informs the art that they make.
