Now, i got a little rankled (hell, yes, pun intended!) about that "rank am" comment concerning Baby Tori, and might have blown it all off completely, except for the fact that there was *another* really cool forty-something woman who was standing right behind us in line, and she overheard him and piped in in agreement. Then we talked cool music until the doors opened.

No crap. Chris and I actually agree on a couple of things musically. :)> Tori is one, Eno seems to be another. He's a genius, imo. I don't own much of his stuff (of his actual recordings, I have exactly one song - the one on the Trainspotting soundtrack - and I don't even remember the title), but I've heard a great deal, and he's influenced so many of the artists I dig in a lot of different ways (Orbital, U2, Aphex Twin, etc.).

I've heard the name, but not the music. Let us know what you come up with, Chris...
