if i were to guess? is it becuz la is the one note on the scale that doesn't involve a pun? la is only "the note that follows so"...? a musical note equivalent of "i can't even think of a word that rhymes"...?

maybe i over-analyze. (she drinks.)

Good afternoon/evening. I raise my glass to wish you good health and happiness.




This album is new to me.

Are the words very important?

Such beautiful arpeggiated guitar lines behind some seriously sinister singing.

This song is just remarkable. And they have refused to play it live for some time now.

There are times when I'm a sucker for stereo panning.

Enjoying the sax squealing from side to side.
