Hey ToriCure. I think that's an awesome handle. It makes me want to call 
myself BuckleyOhara or SundaysWaits or CocteauBush or something.

Woops, forgot to include this....

People have been talking about Guyville. It's kind of been a recent discovery 
for me. At first I was a little turned off by the barage of profane imagery. 
Like factory, I took at as a shock thing at first. But the rugged production 
instantly got me. The gritty acoustic sound is great, and the electric sound 
I've always thought was pretty unique, very jagged and avoiding the smooth 
quality that producers normally get even when recording the hardest acts. Over time 
I got her point. She's talking about the decay of relationships, the decay of 
communication. It's not a nice subject. Within that theme she hits divorce 
("The Divorce Song" is pure genius), abuse, drugs, self-hate and most of the 
time it's a full experience and you get it from the inside out. Exile in Guyville 
is kind of like reading a really good collection of short stories. And the 
experimenal atompsheres and her world-weary, bittersweet vocals are perfect. I 
guess I'm at the point where I think it's one of the coolest records I've yet 
heard. It's almost amazing that this same person also wrote "Why Can't I 
Breathe."
