Very similar to the stuff he did as Denim. For anyone who’s curious, Lawrence now records under the name Go-Kart Mozart. Very similar to the stuff he did as Denim.

Really, it doesn't make you look like an idiot at all. No, really.

At least, I think they do, it kinda depends on how you define 'irony' I suppose. Part of me thinks that it'd take a weird person to adore music without being ironic on some level - part of its power being the ability to make you FEEL with just a bunch of noises, suspend your disbelief and what have you. Of course, we're all *weird* around here I suppose. …ah, but all my truly joyful pop experiences depend on irony on some level.

But only occasionally. She says, now sober.

And who would want to 'transcend irony'? I think that's why Chris Morris' Pulp pastiche failed to work as well as his others, Jarvis being an ironic pastiche anyway. As ever, I guess it's the ability to USE that irony that I like, rather than just be floppy and glib 'I'm being IRONIC' etc etc. How does it both ‘transcend irony’ and manage to be an ‘example of the power of pastiche’?
