Er. OK. Do you also have all the Zamfir and Yanni CDs?

Nothing wrong with upbeatness as long as it's good.
I don't have any nin, either. Reznor's a phony.

Oh, but yes it was. It was there in the store for me to buy.
If he didn't intend for it to be mass consumed he would have kept it to
himself, and I certainly wish he would have.
Plus, what is a review supposed to be? A huge glory halleluia, it's great
just because he went to the effort of doing his job? I am under no
