I heard this on the radio, not knowing who it was, and thought "This is great! Except that it only has two lyrics. Is this a Wesley Willis cover?" Every time something has made me think I might like Tegan & Sara (the cover art, a friend's recommendation, the New Pornographers connection) I have tried them again and been disappointed. Maybe this will do it. a ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 17 Dec 2004 13:50:40 EST From: LkDylaninthmvies@aol.com Subject: Re: [loud-fans] Aimee DVD?

I've heard maybe 5 songs off it now on 3wk and a couple of them caught my attention in a sort of interested way, but yeah, they do sound juvenile to me overall, and I just can't get past the lead singer's voice. It has an irritating quality, worse on some songs than others, that just puts me off. And I think in general it's just not quite my thing musically. That being said, a vocalist who formally irritated me seems to have changed his tone, or production, or something, in a very pleasing way. I deleted Hearts of Oak off my hard drive after a couple of listens because Ted Leo's voice drove me up the wall, but I've heard some stuff off Shake the Sheets and can't wait to get my hands on it now! I would not have even guessed it was the same guy. Nothing so far, however, has changed Neko Case's tendency to make me run away screaming (I find Letter from an Occupant to be particularly horrifying). I really like Translucent Sparrow by the Sadies, but she doesn't sing that one. Does she do much singing on that album? I'm just a bit wary of picking it up.
