I'm sure that's the first time I've ever read the words "twee,"
"meritorious," and "specious" all in one sentence.
And I mean that in a good way.
To weigh in here, I think hot chicks are great, but chicks who get riled up
about the objectification of hot chicks are even better. Rock on, Jocelyn.
By the bye, did anyone notice it's Friday and nearly time to put on our
party hats?
Drolly and not-in-the-least-condescendingly,
Christopher

Or one could take the remarkable point of view that you could do both. But
then, it's so much easier being self-righteous, isn't it?
Look -- a lot of folks may think that Jocelyn is going overboard about this,
but even though I recognized that the video was a parody/homage, I did think
that some might find it sexist. It's a valid (but arguable beef).
Fuck, we've had lengthy discussions on the meaning of 'twee' and 'power
pop', so this attempt to diminish Jocelyn's meritorious point about a video
by casting in a perspective that is outside the parameters of a music
discussion list is fairly specious.
