Actually, it's more the other way around, since she's the one with a job. But I'll be eager to reconnect with the Washington loudfans this summer, and I'll be in DC between June 8-15 looking for an apartment. If anyone has suggestions for places (1+BR, cat-friendly, Metro accessible) do drop me a line offlist. Michael - --------------------- Michael W.

I just got my copy of the album today and have it on right now. So, what does everyone (who has heard it) think of it?

I just got my copy of the album today and have it on right now. > So, what does everyone (who has heard it) think of it? I like it - I think they're on a very fine run (last 3 albums) of stuff. The first few tracks in particular are very strong - which means also that I haven't quite acclimated to many of the rest of them as much as I have to stuff on the previous 2 albums. - -- ...Jeff The Architectural Dance Society http://spanghew.blogspot.com ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 02 Jun 2005 20:41:23 -0400 From: Jenny Grover Subject: Re: [loud-fans] spoon eenie meanie minemeno wrote: > > I think I like it, but it seems to start much more strongly than it > ends.

I think it's consistently good throughout, but maybe it suffers a bit of sameyness. I've only had one listen all the way through, though I had heard 3-4 tracks already.
