the final twilight of all evaluative standpoints (nakhchivan), Wednesday, 22 October 2014 17:12 (ten years ago)

this is the sort of content uk ilx used to be able to provide

Throw one more vote in the "irony has a bad rep but is misunderstood" camp. In fact I don't think irony opposes sincerity at all; on the contrary it seems to me a necessary element of a sincere and humane worldview. This could just be a silly bias that is the product of my own experience. But I will say that expressions of "sincerity" (see how I can't avoid putting it in scare quotes in this context) without guile or irony put me on guard--I will doubt your sincerity the more sincere you are trying to convince me you are. This is why I can't stomach e.g., Mumford & Sons.

A good example of an artist I like who uses irony in a good way would be Andrew WK. His shtick seems so one-dimensional and trite on the surface, but when you listen to his music or see him live or consider his weird career trajectory, it becomes pretty clear that he is aware of the fact that he deploys a ridiculous shtick, and *the awareness of how ridiculous it all is* is what makes it so much fun. Not unlike a Quentin Tarantino movie, definitely a product of the "ironic" 90s. (I don't tend to associate the 90s with irony much because it was the decade of my childhood, and my perception of it all as it was going on was almost irony-free)

nakh do you have any advice for future curators of uk ilx content?

Curator is an apt term as UK ILX does belong in some sort of museum.
