Or are you thinking of pronunciations? Examples please? You may have caught me on that one.. I think you are right, the way he over-enunciates sounds very British to my ears, but listening to it closely I don't hear an accent after all.

Another knockout disc from one of the best bands around right now, the Miracle 3. Fans of the Posies should certainly check out the Wellwishers album. Really fine guitar pop that's certainly detsined for me top 10. http://thespinningjennies.com/WellWishers.html - --Larry On 11/30/05, Richard Blatherwick wrote: > > I realise this is way early, especially by my own usually tardy standards, > but > one of the UK newspapers was conducting a reader's poll to go alongside > its > critics' choices, so i reckoned I'd chuck these out into the ether and see > what anyone else makes of them.
