I can wire you it, if neccessary. <BR/><BR/>-I wanna hear the new Raphael Saadiq! I haven't kept up with him since his Instant Vintage solo debut, but I'm gonna grab this and give it a listen. <BR/><BR/>-Don't like Of Montreal either. A friend of mine mailed me two of their cds, hoping that she could sway me into liking them. I thought it was okay at first, but by the 3rd song it grew really tiresome.

I confess, I am a fan, at least of the more recent catalog. I thoroughly enjoyed the show - but left before it was over.

More importantly to me, it doesn't sound at all contrived to me in what I've listened to. It really excites me, and Paulina immediately asked to hear it again too. THANK YOU for turning my ear to hearing it sooner than later.<BR/><BR/>"Womanizer" has the strange little phrazing affectations that pass for hooks with Britney. Thumbs up for me.<BR/><BR/>I'm invested in the third leg of HSM since I quite literally <I>have</I> to go see it, but it seems of the same blend of pop/camp musical blend of the first two. The overblown "musicale" gestures are what I like about HSM so I don't care if the songs stand up to the Jonas Brothers. I would almost prefer they don't.laphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05129728708993920747noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6039385200676829521.post-34029848481648391222008-10-21T11:30:00.000-07:002008-10-21T11:30:00.000-07:00Jonny, personally, I only liked a couple tunes in ...Jonny, personally, I only liked a couple tunes in HSM1, but thought that overall the songs were consistently stronger in HSM2. As for HSM3, I won't know that 'til Friday, but the clips that have been released sound pretty funky, a bit more "adult."Prince Gomolvilashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09379935946319015969noreply@blogger.com
