thy name is vanity

People are way too concerned with what other people think about their choices in music. I registered my disgust sometime ago for iPod Wars and now – via we make money not art – we have the double-sided headphone. The inside plays whatever music you actually want to listen to, and the outside plays whatever music you think will make you appear cool. Tsk tsk, people.

(On the subject of vanity, I did not know that the Hammer was once called America's Vainest Museum.)
