"I don't know art, but I know what I like..."

I think I'm starting to define what I like by what I couldn't personally reproduce. I'm not sure if this is a mistake or not, but I figure, more often than not, if I couldn't have done it myself, then it must have taken some skill...not that skill necessarily = something I like. I recognize Monet's skill but I hate his smeary-ass oil paintings a whole bunch.

And on the other hand, I can't stand it when someone says, "I could have done that." in discounting someone else's art. Although those thoughts just came to mind.

The point is I'm listening to Secret Agent Radio on SomaFM and it's absolutely the shit all the way around.
