You Talk Way Too Much

Sartre said it is up to us to interpret the signs. There is a video, there is a man, but beyond that I know not what it means. Are we supposed to believe that Julian would condescend to speak with Stereogum just because he wanted to promote his album? One must ask why Julian would need to do so when there are so many bloggers who will spread the music amongst themselves. There is much in the shadows of this half moon world that I dare not believe I see, and this, which is so obvious, so clear, some simple, is it not the darkest of those shadows? Is not Stereogum just as desperate as we are? One should not imagine that they are beyond the propagation of lies and misinformation- What is good for the individual is not always in the best interest of these conglomerations that care only for the existential lifeblood of profit. Does not the cave of irreality flicker with the image of these bastardized forms, these false Julians who appear to be nothing more than shaggy haired wagtails hired off the street. If we bloggers are to assume any nobility, we must reject the lies that are fed to us by these systems, these Stereogums, these Pitchfork Medias, these Brooklyn Vegans who, in their faceless inhumanity care nothing for the truth that is the good. If JC, who in the darkest harness of my soul still flickers, exists-he exists not for the easy consummation of the indie rock community, he exists not for the casual fans or the people who are looking for something to fill up the time that lingers inbetween Albert Hammond Jr's abomitable solo albums... He exists for us, the bloggers, his followers, those who seek the truth in all things, those who stand outside of the cave and see the beingness that is his pure form.
