At this angle, you look nothing like Evil...but I totally get the whole "lanky" deal now. And here, I made it a little more clear for us:

I would like to see what HeadBitch looks like, and maybe lolitahey too.... Trash said he would post one, but hasn't yet! >:/ And I kinda doubt European would participate, but it would really ramp up the stakes for me. TPD, you're stunning....and crafty as you are attractive. X]

Who do you think would, then?

You're scaring me...I know you're right about those two, but there's still a possibility it could be us. Edit: Grrr, I wanted to like this but now I can't! >:C

"Youth Knows No Pain" by Lykke Li. Sweet organ work! Aw, lucky! She seems like she'd be really sweet in real life.

Except for me.

I have never seen one, but I'm sure it would not be too difficult for someone to filter out his vocals and edit the piece a little bit.

This is something I can't wait to hear. I really don't like the one song he did on Ghost, but I feel that in the long run, there's still hope for their work together. Ooh, thanks for this. I have read Wikipedia's explanation several times, but it didn't do the situation justice. Coincidentally, this reminds me of how I feel about Regina's last release...also involving Elizondo. I know she was really proud of it, but from what I can tell, many, many fans feel like it doesn't live up to her past releases, except for perhaps Far. But that's not his fault; that's just a matter of accepting what the artist wishes to produce, and understanding that she's never gonna go back to the brilliance of 11:11, Songs, or even Soviet Kitsch. Do you like WWSFTCS, Monicker? Wrong thread, perhaps, but I'd be interested to hear how you feel about it.

Due to my mother's strong, strong health-y nature, I have missed out on so, so many carbonated beverages over the span of my short life. But hey, I guess that means my bones are stronger than yours! And don't even get me started on the adverse effects of the artificial sweeteners in "diet" beverages....>_<

Very true...as I mentioned earlier, I think that Fiona is of a different caliber than any artist of recent times, and Brion did a wonderful thing when working with her on EM. I still don't understand exactly why they chose Mike to produce it instead for the actual release...from what I've read, though, the entire releasing process was a nightmare for artist + fans alike. I forgot she did TIW herself, but it makes sense. I've never heard a record like it. Definitely agree on the Lizzy vocals > Fiona's. Her vocal skills, even on the acapella demos, show remarkable depth...I couldn't have put that better myself. I just started listening to TIW this past week, and you're sooo right about the rawness. Mentally, I haven't sorted all the tracks apart from one another, but there's one (maybe "Regret?") where she just belts more than I could've imagined possible. It shocked me at first, and lends a really unnerving emotional layer to the song. My favourite, though, is definitely "Werewolf..." it's exactly what I wanted to hear when I started listening to Fiona "for real," and the way she so plainitively lays out her woes entraps me like a snare.

It depends...but now that I'm a Sleigh Bells fan, everything is relative.

"Every Man Gets His Wish." "Every Man Gets His Wish" versus "C-Note 2.0"

St. Vincent - "Jesus Saves, I Spend" Any other Annie fans? I used to abhor all music with heavy guitar, but my conversion to Yeah Yeah Yeahs addict has altered my entire tolerance for rock music. Not to mention she's super beautiful, a la my current signature.

Though I do agree--the album is definitely a stand-out, both in lyrics and content--some of Davey's other productions remind me, at least a little bit, of the sound it acheives. After all, he's been producing music for over three decades; there's got to be some sonic overlap. For example, Regina's Begin to Hope and Ingrid Michaelson's Human Again have just enough familiar elements to recollect the atmosphere of the AKA record. . .to me, at least. And though I think she's of a very different artistic caliber--just all around, a very different type of artist--Fiona Apple does remind me a bit of Lizzy. Not really her lyrics, and lately she sounds way more harrowed than Lizzy ever has, but the aura she projects strikes me as something Lizzy could have had if things had gone very differently for her. As for the 'classic Americana' aspect, the only other artist I listen to who shares any of such nostalgic motifs is Alex Winston. Very different angle and objective, but thematically, I see more parallels between her and Lizzy than with anyone else.

You know, at this point, I don't even care that much anymore. My song is winning, so why don't we gang up against Sitar and his beloved "Mermaid Motel?" Kill Kill 33 Queen of the Gas Station 10 For K Part 2 40 Mermaid Motel 11

Kill Kill 33 Queen of the Gas Station 9 For K Part 2 39 Mermaid Motel 13

"Daddy Issues" "Daddy Issues" vs. "Back to tha Basics."

Why does everyone assume it's "from her laptop????" We have absolutely ZERO evidence for this...I mean, if there was even a shred, I wouldn't mind, but I don't like how this false info seems to have suddenly become universally accepted.

Well, I guess there's just no pleasing some people. I know!!!!!!! Honestly....I wish it was a double album. I'm obsessing over "Out Alive" right now, and I'm sure that the Calvin songs must sound at least that good. It's the best song on the record!

Is it supposed to, though?

I don't think we can assume that. I mean, it definitely could be--judging from the way it sounds--but that would take info we don't have.

Something about this really cracks me up. Lights, lights-- Sights, sights-- Buy me Coca Cola in the middle of the night.

I'm sleeping with your best friend...how do you like me now?

Did you say you wanna dance with me?

Sleigh Bells - "Crown on the Ground" After TPD posted about buying Reign of Terror, I've been rediscovering them + their majesty...I love them so much. :3
