I won't jump on the "I hate Lou Reed" bandwagon; I have no opinion of the guy or his music. However, O&A hit the nail on the fucking head when they said most bands who say they have no fame because their music is "too deep" for the masses should just admit they turn out horrible shit.

I really try to resist that "they're only pretending to like it" thing. I think it's such a cringey attitude. But I honestly don't get what people like about Zappa. Did he ever write a catchy song?

I was playing Tortoise in my car and my buddy said I was just trying to be cool. No, I was trying to turn him onto something cool. I like what I like.
