Unnecessary as this may be, it's come to my attention that my music has been adopted by a certain online faction that has seen fit to interpret and present it via its own ideological prejudices.
The exploding galaxy brain of owns. Taylor targets one blog. FJM targets blogging. Reeling. Undone. Aghast (however: "much prayer"—lmfao v good, Josh).Though I am in no way affiliated with this group and have made numerous attempts to distance myself from its rhetoric and agenda I still feel the need to roundly denounce it, so with the help of my legal team and much prayer, here goes: music blogging is and always has been entirely unacceptable in a civic society—as is anyone who claims to be a music blogger or associates with music blogging.
Huh. Damn. I mean we're all upset here, but I wonder. Does FJM have a point? The concept of canon, after all, is inherently patriarchal, and based on the same arbitrary value judgements to which music blogging—with its endorsement of "buzz" and "hype"—adheres. I feel adrift. Father John Misty has unmoored me. The human embodiment of "made u think" has done his worst. He has made me think.

It is unwelcome here. Thank you all very much.
