soprano, then

Dudes, this would have been funnier before my last comment, which indicates that I already did listen to the whole thing. It's still sort of funny.

i'm so afraid for amelie right now

Strike Four: Cookie Monster on vocals.
Strike Five: The Van Halen-esque guitar solo abruptly making way for the searing Van Halen-esque alto saxophone solo.

Fair enough.

Sounds like you're daring me to listen to the whole thing.

SURVEY SAYS…"I SHOULD NOT HAVE BEEN CONDUCTED."
Strike One was seeing the 5:09 running time.
Strike Two was the first note of the song.
Strike Three was the second note of the song.

bonedad, we're in agreement about this album, but since you quoted me in your subject line and then tried to disprove what I said about her seeming "sharp," I had to take a shot back at you. Like I said, the fact that she isn't dumb makes her more accountable for doing this record.

lex, i once searched for the transcription of Marion's Nepali lines immediately after the drinking contest. No luck. This was when the 10,000 BC review was being discussed and I wanted a good comeback to what you just typed above.
