    Today I learned that Dan Ryckert's new "stories from my life book" is inspired by David Sedaris books and also that Dan is a huge fan of David Sedaris

    That dude still surprises me sometimes

    I hope he's got a decent editor for it.

    I'm not suggesting he's a bad writer, but essays require a different touch than fiction.

    I have a super hard time focusing on Dungeon World FatT. Like, if I am doing anything else at all I am lost. I seem to only be able to listen to it sitting perfectly still while staring at a blank wall. Which is not something I am going to be able to do for the entirety of it.

    I did not have this trouble with Adventure Zone.

    It's weird, like, I really like it when I'm paying attention but I just can't keep a hold of it (though this is also true of Counter/Weight for me) I'll suddenly 'wake up' and realize I have no idea what they're talking about and have to rewind and it'll happen again really quickly

    I'm so close to loving FatT and I keep trying to but it feels like I'm just incapable of experiencing it and that makes me sad

    Hey so

    The next episode we record for TWA is the infamous Rapping Pumpkin Monster episode

    We are looking for a guest who grew up with rap as a kid and who has a better understanding than we do of the weird marketing appropriation Rap went through in its early stages with the Rappin Grannies and Rappin Santas and whatnot

    If you're interested let me know!

    Having decided to do a rather silly thing while editing this episode, I think I can confidently say I can recognise the waveform of someone saying "Pokemon" purely by sight now.

    I have a podcast about Digimon called the Digital Moncast, on Audio Entropy.

    Oh yeah and since we're redoing our Moncast recording due to spooky haunted episodes, does anyone want to guest with us for what is commonly described as an uncharacteristically good episode?

    I dunno I think white people sincerely rapping might be worse. At least the ironic ones are self-aware and supposed to be embarrassing.

    Nah, ironic is definitely worse.

    White people sincerely rapping can actually be good.

    White people ironically rapping is a statement that rap is not a valid or worthwhile genre of music.

    Yeah, there's always this undercurrent of, "Isn't it hilarious that I'm lowering myself like this?"

    Like, there isn't a whole rash of white people ironically sucking at classical music, or country music, or any "real" music. There's this implication that rap is a joke anyway, so it's the """"fun""" kind of embarrassing to dabble in it.

    Also, ironic rapping isn't necessarily a statement on rapping. It can be a statement on white people.

    I was house sitting this week, and the house somehow got Canada's indigenous TV station, so that was basically all I watched

    There was this nightly block of music videos, and boy, there is some bad Indian rap out there, holy crap. Like these two Apache brothers with dwarfism who did a rap about making shawtys do a rain dance

    There was also a guy who rapped partially in Anishinaabe, which was fucking sick as hell, so it was overall worth it I guess

    Also, ironic rapping isn't necessarily a statement on rapping. It can be a statement on white people.

    I mean, I don't think most folks are going at it with the thought, "Oh hell yeah I'm gonna make fun of black people by doing this"

    But the undercurrent is definitely there

    Pursuing any art form ironically is partially based around devaluing the work of the people who pursue it in earnest

    Hmm

    I dunno, I don't think like, Steel Panther secretly think glam rock is dumb

    I think you can 'ironically' do something out of pure love for it

    I think Turbo Kid or Blood Dragon or any of those pastiches are also pretty good examples of that

    That said, stuff like Malibu's Most Wanted or whatever is pretty clearly derogatory, yes

    Ironically does not mean comically, although the two have a lot of crossover

    You can do something with a sense of humor without it being due to a sneering distaste for it

    I feel like by definition when you do something ironically you are doing it because you dislike it

    Then you have the wrong definition for irony. It's okay though, most people do.

    What would you consider the correct definition? Specifically in the sense of liking something or doing something ironically?

    Because in usage, that's what the vast majority of people I have encountered are referring to when they say that they like something ironically.
