Yep, I can listen to the first 3 or 4 songs and that's it.

The fade-out ending is such a bummer to me. I adore the rest of the song and then it just fades out so anticlimactically.

"All You Had to Do Was Stay" and "Run Away With Me" were produced by the same production duo, if that explains your affinity.

"Escape" is such a guilty pop pleasure for me.

Isn't there an owl that pesters them to send a gift?

I really want to live in the slightly weirder alternate universe where that is a single, complete with a trippy video.

Thank you for this, both because that is ALSO my choice but also because it started a discussion about that goddamn delightful album.

I'm still trying to figure out if listening to it was worth sitting through 20 minutes of Bret Easton Ellis ranting about social media and kids these days. I'm a huge Passion Pit fan and always find him fascinating in interviews, but that particular one was hard to slog through for me.

I saw an old episode of Friends that used it and I was surprised too. I think of it as being a very recent term associated with a specific type of guy on Reddit.

Not to bring up a whole OTHER conversation, but that this terrible video is one of the things that's always confused me the most about the Kanye/Taylor interrupting debacle. Like, yeah, Kanye was a dick, but on the other hand, this video isn't better than "Single Ladies," right? (Not that the VMAs mean anything, but…

"I was a scarlet letter."

She was like 20 when she wrote this song, though, and I think she dropped out of high school when she was 15 or so to pursue her music. So she was 5 years removed from high school, which made it seem more immature to me.

Previous tweets indicate the DVD was actually left by Erin when she moved out of the house. Dan was in a hotel while she got her stuff and he came to find that she'd made him a "home writing room" from her old art room and left him a copy of this DVD.

The b-sides are better than half the actual album, too.

I kept thinking that as I read this. How did no one mention Eric Stefani? If everyone here is lukewarm on Tragic Kingdom but some of them like their later stuff…there's the variable.

Wouldn't that be Shania Twain?

Those two might be my favorites! I try to quote the "born with glass bones and paper skin" line whenever possible.

My fury was with omitting "Kiss Me." Granted that romance is mostly a plot device, but "Kiss Me" is so charming and makes you care at least a bit about them.

It's basically all of Burton's worst instincts - too much CGI, nepotism in casting, and under-directing performers who should be reigned in.

Yup. The problem isn't that HBC's singing wasn't pretty - it's that she wasn't using her voice like a musical theatre actress would, to tell the story through song. That requires singing talent AND the ability to act the songs. From what I understand, HBC took singing lessons for this movie - she clearly wasn't at…
