Liked the Mike Flowers entry a lot - yr thinking seems to be leading towards a theory of irony as (not) practised by musicians as opposed to fans.
Whot about the Darkness? I think the whole irony element there was massively overplayed, b/c it rested on the very shaky idea that the only way you could find metal funny was from a position of outsider disdain.
