Minisode!

There's been this obvious trend over the last few (dozen?) years. Everything is ironic, nothing is sincere. Everything is cynical, nothing is earnest. Why is that? Does it mean something? Are we poised for a swing back into a more innocent, laugh-track based culture? Probably not, but it's fun to talk about anyway, right?

Anyway, no homework!

P.S:

That song is called Come Down, by the Pillows. It's off of the first soundtrack to FLCL. Sorry, we didn't see a download link.

As always, thanks. For listening.
