a bit MOR? I haven't heard much, but I'm a bit baffled by your apparent new-found obsession.

Your face is MOR. And there's nothing apparent about it.

I don't experience him as MOR at all. His albums (at least the three I've heard, I don't have the first one) are all so different, and his lyrics have this leftfield twist that I adore. I just love the unironic (non-ironic? anironic?) nature of his music. It's like being slapped in the face with sunshine and salt water. You know I'm terrible at talking about music and explaining why I like it. I just do. So don't ruin my newfound love with your cultural elitism, OK?

I'll ruin what I like!

You're not terrible at talking about anything, Hannah darling - witness turns of phrase such as 'being slapped in the face with sunshine and salt water'. I've only heard, like, 5 or 6 of his songs.

have you read 'The Actual' by Saul Bellow?

'Fraid not. It's on my list, but I'm a bit hampered currently by lack of funds. Why, should I?

Re: Also biggster May 21 2007, 19:11:22 UTC

I wouldn't hurry to. It's terribly slight. Or at least, I think it is. Maybe I would have got more out of it if I was at all familiar with Bellow.
