And I really, really can't figure out Malkmus at all. Not at all.

Gary Numan was a rich kid who's father paid for his instruments. I see nothing wrong with that.
I'm a poor kid and I pay for my instruments, but I see nothing shameful about being rich and getting pampered, as long as you make good music.
I see your argument though. Slanted and Enchanted and Crooked Rain, Crooked Rain can give that vibe and can get pretty monotonous. Wowee Zowee is much, much, much better than both those albums combined. I judge them based on Wowee, which I'd probably place among my favorite albums of all time.
