A conversation continuation of a discussion, Part 1

So I made a post on Monday that linked to a rather polarizing article. All week, I was turning over in my mind how to respond to the comments made, but could not for the life of me make them into pretty comment-essay form.

It is so amazing that I have nothing to add. It covers every point I could possibly want to make and more.

I would have to be thankful for this tumblr simply for it enlightening me as to the existence of this picture of Key.

Why Library is the best song on the TTS mini-album, or, some thoughts on emotional resonance in pop
