>Mark Kozelek shares a problem with many other US-based singer-songwriters: that they feel so out of touch with their age (both in terms of musical style and of lyrical content). These songs feel terribly provincial, almost as if he lived insulated from the Arab Spring, Islamic terrorism, China's economic boom and Silicon Valley. These are songs that don't resonate with anybody on the planet, except the few who know Kozelek particularly well. This is the album of an aging man with little or no interest and little or no contact with the world, who basically fantasizes about another world that doesn't exist anymore, but that paradoxically constitutes his lived life. One wonders whether Kozelek knows what a smartphone is, where Beijing is or who Putin is. They may surface in his songs when a metal-recycling neighbor picks up an iPhone from a garbage can or when a girlfriend uses a newspaper to wrap up a birthday gift.
Did the Koz just best the Scaruffmeister?

I feel like scaruffi is projecting

not sure who you're referring to...

Scruffy's right about this one desu, I'm a huge fan of Mark's work, Benji's one of my favourite albums, but I feel like a lot of the cultural references on this album are a bit heavy handed for my liking.

He wrote that about Benji, retard.

My favourite thing about this is that on his next album, he sung about how he met the "smartest man in the world" and he had a flip phone. Immediately made me think of this. People can write off Scaruffi as a meme all they want, the guy knows what he's talking about.

Reacting in a negative conservative sense to the modern age is still a reaction. Meh seems like a lazy write-off still to me.
