Seems to me you've argued plenty for people to "fight their corner" pretty rabidly in your time.

Know the difference? Sure. But treat them any differently? Not the BCB way.

There's a certain type of BCBer who doesn't really understand subjectivity though. It's either 'brilliant,' or it's 'shite.'

Matt, love, you don't need the Human League as a soundtrack in your life. It was never designed for boys in a wood playing with their first crossbow. Forgetaboutit!

I wouldn't say it sucks, and it definitely brings back a moment in time. But I never really liked it much.

I like synths fine. The singing and the lyrics always just seemed so stilted and drab to me. It felt like overhearing yuppies having a conversation.

"I was working as a waitress in a cocktail bar. That much is true." It just felt too boring to be really good.

"When you're in love, you know you're in love. No matter what you try to do." Good God.
