Pandora knows me so well
"Based on what you've told us so far,, we're playing this track because t features basic rock song structures, electronica influences, a subtle use of vocal counterpoint, a subtle use of vocal harmony and mild rhythmic syncopation."

OK, you know that thing?
You know that thing that cats do when they reach out and touch you just because they want to touch you? And how, when you put your hand over their paw they have to move their paw and put it on your hand, no matter how many times you do it?

Dear Diary
