I would probably say the same thing for music and the internet in general, honestly -- for as much as the internet exposes me to, I also feel like it tempts me to silence some of my instinctive reactions to some things just because my critical senses and surroundings tell me differently. I enjoy that element of listening too but it can suck some of the simple pleasure from it, which is kind of how I processed "Lightning Bolt," which I think offers more to enjoy than I initially let on.

Appreciative of this. I haven't logged in to RM for a long time b/c I don't want to go on a PJ fan site just to hear about how bad PJ have become. Initially I found it so refreshing over here after the pit b/c of the overall level of intelligent, thoughtful commentary... but then it just seemed like no one actually likes PJ, and ultimately I want these types of exchanges for the purpose of sharing my enthusiasm. I have plenty of places I can find clever or clever-by-half insults of things I love.

Man, lincoln was totally LOL in that regards. I had warned Rachel about PJ fans for months. She gets there and is like "holy shit. You weren't kidding"

Good times.
