tanaiseI loath the Strokes's first song. I realise that I should like it, that it should be just what I like to listen to, but no, I loathe it. That said, I love Hard to Explain. I tried to dislike it when I figured out it was by them, but I still love it. Even watching the video, I still love it. I'm such a slut.
I was realizing this at critique this morning. People point out all these flaws. Well, truth of the matter is, if I like the story, I don't mind mistakes with it. I'll point them out, but hell, one story I crited earlier this week I wouldn't have blinked at in one of the big three. We made all sorts of suggestions, but really, I think it was publishable as it was. More than one, probably, but that one just sticks in my memory. It's awful--we've started critiquing second stories, and so I've completely forgotten about first stories. I kept having to ask my couchmate what the hell story the person being critiqued had written last week. I'm apalling. I suck. I beg people's forgiveness. On the plus side, I remember people's names.
