Or she's trying to be cutesy...

It just seems a bit pretentious, to me.  But I'm a big progrock, Dream
Theater, and Tori Amos fan, so I guess I can't speak out against
pretentiousness... :)

And therein lies the problem.  "Before they reach the music..."  It's kinda
distracting from what the music might be all about...

People are gonna make judgements even before they hear the music.  Like me.
 I already have.  But, ya know, it might be a really good CD... we'll just
hafta see...

In other topics: Any Canadians on the list?  Or any people who still get
Much Music?  I know there are.  Anybody know what's going on with Holly
McNarland?  I heard she was working on a new CD, but no news on any of the
webpages that I could find.  My cable carrier dropped the Canadian music
station Much Music back in April... I miss it.

No where else could I see Holly, I Mother Earth, and actual VIDEOS (aka,
wake up MTV)...
