agreed she didn't sound good on the live version, but the studio version to me is stellar.


Sounds like a tossed-off Blondie tune, but I can dig it.

So after figuring out that neither Firefox or IE work with http://www.thewildernessdowntown.com, I'm trying to watch the new video for "We Used to Wait" after downloading Google Chrome (the browser it's supposed to work in). All it did was load a bunch of tiny windows in the upper left hand of my monitor and a small control box with "Pause" and "Mute" control buttons. Great experiment!! :roll:

Sorry to complain here, but Google nor the site designer have any troubleshooting info or a place for feedback.

EDIT: I watched in on a co-worker's CPU. It got to the end of my street, but not to my house. Oh well, kind of a let down.

I was just about to post that. It worked great on my computer using Google Chrome. I think it's a cool use of HTML 5.

Me too, it's probably album of the year for me so far.

I'm still not big on Modern Man and Rococo so I find myself skipping those more times than not. Deep Blue is one of their best songs to date.

Really enjoying this as well. Their albums as a whole don't have a lot of staying power for me, but right now it's pretty great.

I still say its their best album yet, but coming from me that's a tepid pat on the back. I can at least listen to about half the album[8songs] and enjoy it, which is more than a lot of albums out there. And, City with No Children is a top 3 song in their catalog maybe their best for me perhaps single of the year.

I am sort of reminded of MIA's recent video. I wasn't that moved by it...

I feel like I should like it, and the individual scenes are all great - but I don't understand it.
