I really need to hear that M's album.

So far it's been on several lists of those whose musical taste I respect.

RIYL?

I'm too drunk to think of a RIYL at this point. I do know they were awesome live, and the three singers can harmonize pretty damn well.

So it's chick rock with harmony?

If I wasn't at work I'd be weeping into a Guiness over the game results today.

They played like crap, but we're still 13-3 and the #1 seed. I'd save your crying until after our first play-off game. Eep! :oops:
