Then again, I really liked THE FORGOTTEN ARM, which nobody else seems to like much. And if I had to pick one of her CDs for an extended galactic tour with a robot and a pedophile, it would probably be LOST IN SPACE. Go figure. Extreme Aimee-philia on my part, perhaps. Having said that, as much as I love the cover booklet, I'm not sure it's worth springing for the executive edition unless you're, well, as big a fan as I am. And would it kill her to include ONE up-tempo number once in awhile? Acknowledging the critique... On Thu, Jun 5, 2008 at 3:59 PM, Joseph M.

Loudfans, especially us longer-in-the-tooth Loudfans, might well find her too fresh-faced and lyrically high school-centric, but I think she's catchy as all hell. http://www.marie-digby.org/ Wondering what Mark made of the Young Snakes, Andy "Gorgonized me from head to foot, With a stony British stare." - --Alfred Tennyson, from "Maud" ------------------------------ End of loud-fans-digest V7 #415 *******************************
