Like U Crazy video 

It takes a lot for me to allow unfamiliar music into my life. Part of getting older, I think? Mates of State, a duo on tour with the This American Life show got to me last night, right away. I liked this song the first time I heard it. That's kind of rare. Little guy liked it too. We were both surprised at ourselves, having believed we didn't like "that kind of music" whatever we thought we meant by that.

Notes 

Notes that could be become a post later if I can gather my senses together.

TAL fans paid $50, snobbish about TV, didn't know what to make of Ira saying he likes to watch TV and sings along to the OC theme with joyful abandon

Frontline series comments incredibly elitist

Appealing to snobs. Market for it. Can turn that around by not sniffing along with the cheerleaders (reporters who think there is a bigger market for it than there is)
