As soon as people giggle at Jay's article and direct their Facebook friends to the article, the backlash begins. I get it but it still irks me nonethelesss. In the social media world one has to immediately brace for a counter attack. You like it? You better justify your taste.
The article is glorious and I am not doubting myself for a minute. (Maybe a second though.) It reminds me of Lilly Allen's pop style. You'll never really list her in your High Fidelity influenced top ten but it is entertaining and witty. While other writers remind me Noise - what is the essence/meaning/message- Allen and Rayner guide you with hooks and seemingly easy comparisons to the finish. It's never condescending nor overly complex.
