I wasn't referring to Moore's reasoning, but to El Dan's. "I'm with her all the time" is a shitty excuse for infidelity.

I think we might mean different things by "judge its badness."

That is true, but is also distinct from the proposition "infidelity is bad." Its badness can be more or less mitigated by other factors, but my only contention is that it is, in itself, a bad thing to do.

It's a view based on a non-psychological philosophy of morality. Those are unpopular these days, I'll admit, but, well, I guess I'm just a hidebound conservative obscurantist.

Cocker's version of "A Little Help" is also noteworthy for featuring Jimmy Page toward the end of his time as a session musician and Procol Harum's drummer.

So does my outer Calvinist.

Agreed.

Which fictional worlds do you guys think were most prominent in the pastiche?

"Keep it floppy, women are objects."

So was I, but that movie sucked shit.

Really? Deerhunter isn't hipster, but Vampire Weekend might be?

Cool. Nice bit of weird fiction to pull up.
