i think whether or not his songs are great is a matter of taste. i, for instance, think his full-length has three or four great songs ["it's okay," "tomato song," "soft boy," and "banana song"]. i'm not sure if it would make any sense if someone said, "oh, i love pwrfl power, but none of his songs are great."

i understand where you're coming from as far as the "emperor's new clothes" scenario goes, and i'm with you on the stance that i really can't stand people who force themselves to like something because it's hyped up.

i'm not sure if you need to be an elitist or have an eclectic taste to like kaz's music. i mean, i don't consider myself an elitist, and although my tastes venture pretty far into the realm of weirdness, i think kaz's music is just like all music: either you like it, or you don't.
