I left my heart in Budapest (in love with every woman's breasts)
The following is a real internet chat record with names withheld:
me: whoa
i just heard R Kelly's 'I'm a Flirt' on the shuttle from upper campus
so confessional
far more than john darnelle
other e-chatter: i think r. kelly can write about whatever he wants now. john darnelle has to wait until he's convicted of statuatory rape too
me: think how good mountain goats would be if he WAS convicted of statutory rape!!!
you would literally be able to see inside his mind.
I was genuinely shocked by the boldness of 'I'm a Flirt' - it revealed a whole new possibility of confessional song to me. If you haven't heard the song, it basically consists of declarations like ' don't bring your girlfriend over, because I love girls and I will try to seduce her (f.y.i., I'm the king of R&B) '
This completely changed my views on a late 80's/early 90's midwestern 7" EP released by Chris Twining. In the past, it has only served as a tittering source of novelty. NOW it has become an important document of personal strength and integrity.
