The three CD stores to which I have access all charge the same price for O!TG: $17.99. So the other day, I bit the bullet, walked in and bought it and walked home and unwrapped it and WHOA... damn good CD. Damn good. I could say more but that's why we have Jessica Brandt, right? My only comment is that when I saw it on the rack at The Wall (it was with the SNZ CDs, btw, along with Jz Sqd and KDS), the back of it with the cardboard on top made it look like the packaging was some sort of *box*, not just a jewel case. Custom packaging would have been awesome for this disque. Bird's writing style kicks ass. Idea: The illustrious Andrew Bird has, of late, released a wonderful and pleasing disque for young and old alike. He who has two bits or a week-old coffee receptacle from McDonald's and a cachet of naive tourists on a New York subway would do well to proceed to his nearest music store and purchase "Oh! The Grandeur" immediately. - -Peter Destructo AOL IM: sgkoby <-- good ICQ: 48622775 <-- better The trash heap has spoken.

Sorry, not much SNZ content but for the 2nd sticker question below... Hey, Jess! You scored some copies of OTG for free, so I was wondering if you could use that 'CHARM' (nice article) of yours and get me a free copy of the full versions of Adobe Illustrater 8.0 and Photoshop 5.0.2! I'd owe you big time! Do any of you find it odd that I can't download Netscape Navigator because of some error in my Internet Explorer browser? Tried it twice now and i still get a Microsoft java error... Here it is: What two cars has Jimbo driven that we could know of? Remember, if you already have the sticker, hold back on the answers and first right respnonce is the winner! Sorry it took so long... Shaun == Impetus (im'pa-tas) [L. impetere-attack] n. an impulse; a stimulus You're great...pour moi au poop en fonction! _____________________________________________________________ Subject: floyd Jess, I'm glad that someone responded to my post. And even more glad that it is someone that could actually get the information I was asking about. Please try and find out, and post it on here. Even though I don't write often, I do read it everyday.
