Love that drive.  Never heard of them of course, before RP.

On the basis of this soporific number, I think I'd prefer a fake Tuesday Weld, preferably one with some joie de vivre whose get up and go hadn't got up and gone. 3 from the narcoleptic Nottingham jury {#Sleep}

Maybe where you are. Unfortunately, we have not had a good ski season in ten years here.  But then, that's purely anecdotal information and I would understand if you didn't take it seriously.

It's highly likely she was just being facetious or employing verbal irony for a humorous effect.  Even pretty women make jokes sometimes.  I guess some humor gets lost when written out.

With rain 13 of the past 15 days , the whimsy of Stephen Coates' song seems less whimsical and more like a shared plea.

Bought this CD after hearing cuts her on RP and, well, it's not one I listen to every day. But when I'm in the mood (try building AJAX for a couple hours and you'll see what I mean) it's a nice change. A+, will listen again.

You wanna know what the real Tuesday Weld thought about music? When she was married to Pinchas Zuckerman, violinist and now the conductor of the National Arts Centre Orchestra here in Ottawa, capital of Canada, she replied to her then-husband when he said he was off for an evening of conducting, ''Why would anyone want to hear a symphony more than once--it's always the same?'' Whoa--profound! But the bigger question is: Why would Pinky marry someone like that? Yes, Tuesday is (was?) as cute a a bunny, but you expect an orchestra conductor should look beyond that before marrying one. Dally with--don't marry--cute white bunnies--unless you're a silly rabbit yourself.

Hearing this song prompted me to realize that I frequently only take time to rate the songs I really like because they get my attention more, whereas I tend to tune out the weaker selections. I need to also rate the lame songs. This is a good one to start with.
