“‘One of the most important reasons to write, to make art, to make music, to be an artist of any sort, is to connect. To show others, ‘I too have felt this way, share it with me.’ If you try and connect with anyone in a way that is not earnest, it isn’t a connection. It’s a con. It’s a mask.’”
Our very own managing editor, Isaac Fitzgerald, offers some eloquent perspective on honesty, the internet and art in this KQED article about forging real life connections versus promoting our internet personas.

Whoa…hella Synchronicity! I had a podcast episode named “Age Of Irony” back in 2006 (former DJ here)–and it was named after some soundbites from The Roots talking about “From now until sometime in 2000 or 2010–something told me this would be The Age Of Irony.”
Oddly enough I concur and as A Man Of My Time I’ve certainly noticed the irony tide ebb from my own consciousness.
Still shocked to hear this meme be popped! The Rumpus: best. website. EVAR.
