I see we've dropped to "medium" compatibility. (Unacceptable.) I've got absolutely nothing interesting to say. I just miss you.

Hi.

Sounds oddly familiar...

YGM.

I'm...a little confused...

Hang on a second. Didn't I share some of Delerium's stuff with you back when we were talking about Enigma et al.? (Silence was great, by the way.)

Quite a lot, actually. He was one artist I meant to ask you about, in addition to Tom Jones and Sarah McLachlan (who I've been avoiding for some ten years, now). I'm going to have to dig up Snow Patrol to give them another listening to, also.

Ha, figures. Now it works. I'll get back to you on that in a bit.

Since we haven't been able to share recommendations recently, I thought I could get my fix by listening to your station. Unfortunately, nothing's been working well for me on the mobile site. I'm bummed.

I'm borrowing your station for the afternoon.

A list might make things a little easier for me. :P

Just barely. (Can't afford home internet access right now.) Thanks for checking up on me. How have things been with you?

I know someone did something right when I can't even look at the title of a song without cracking up.

Pff. Who needs penance when you've got dirt?

Oh, yeah? When would that have been? :)

To be fair, yes, you did mention that her style was kinda quirky. I just had no reason to infer that she'd transition from likeable quirkiness to whatever effect she was trying to have with those vocals. Worse yet is that they were layered over some really nice instrumentals. Okay. I'll try "Fidelity." (I'm a little scared...hold my hand?)

Not you, silly. Regina Spektor! The music was kind of nice, especially the strings in "Us," and I thought she had a decent voice. But then she did that squeaky-breathy thing. And then she did it again. And I was suddenly overcome with the impulse to mutilate something. It's like claws on the chalkboard when women do that...only worse. I'm still feeling twitchy.

THAT...was kind of cruel.

http://www.last.fm/music/The+Dead+Weather Maybe? I think so.

Aw, thanks. Happy Winter to you too! Have you been checking out the "Best of 2009" feature here? It's worthy of at least a few giggles.

I think I might smell a new year's resolution cooking.

Guess how out of it I've been? I didn't even realize that The Prodigy released Invaders Must Die earlier this year.

But I miss you!

I'm not hallucinating...that does say "3," right?

Am I catching up, yet? :D

No disrespect intended, of course. While we're using made-up words, though, maybe we can come up with one that means, "I'm so excited, I could've peed a little!"

The video's a bit spooky, but then I've always had an inherent fear of Elvis impersonators. And..."oralization?" XD

That...makes me sad. :( She's supposed to be releasing some solo work, though, right?

Well, no...it's not as good, but It's so new and shiny right now. I just disagree with some of the reviewers trashing it. I think it's very, very solid. USoE does feel like a love letter to Queen, which isn't a bad thing, IMO.

Too late. Already have it. I love it actually, even the Exogenesis Symphony, which I've seen several reviewers roll their eyes at.

The Resistance? Yes? No?

I suppose there's still a chance, however slight, that I found this before you did. In the event I did, enjoy: http://tinyurl.com/n6mhd6

Aw, but you won't lose me... How was the movie?

What about "Would" caught your attention this time around?

You haven't shouted at me in months. ...does that mean you don't love me anymore? :(

Damn. I guess I can't sneak around anymore.

Dammit! I missed Hammer Time?

That made me shudder.

When Jesus was an unborn baby, there was no room for Him in the inn. These days, there's no room for Him on your playlist. 'Tis a shame.

You cut me deep, Dak. Real deep.

I'm going to ask that you listen to The Lonely Island just a bit more. A bit.

Hide and Seek...you know you love it. :D

For some reason, the title "Dick In a Box" reminded me of "Jizz In My Pants." I was about to comment when I kept reading and saw that they were by the same artist...

One of the greatest, most definitely. But if we're calling it electronica, we might as well call some of The Prodigy's work the same. Both The Fat of the Land and Music for the Jilted Generation have a slight lead on Dig Your Own Hole, in my opinion.

Incidentally, that's the other song that most strongly resembles GY!BE's work. No, I don't think it's one of those barely noticeable similarities you're used to seeing me point out.

I tag stuff through the software while I'm listening to music at the computer. I haven't bothered to look around the site to see if there's another way about it. The song I was talking about was "And the Nightsky Fell Upon Us," but I kept hearing GY!BE through the rest of the album.

Also, let's try post-rock soon. I can't believe how much this song reminds me of Godspeed You! Black Emperor.

Part of me wishes you'd start tagging artists so it'd be easier for me to sneak around your profile to find them.

Four times in a row? I don't think that's ever happened on your profile.

Baby, you can drive my car. Yes, I'm gonna be a star. Baby, you can drive my...actually, no. Don't let me try that again.
