Whoa, now, k.d. has made some damn fine records. Of course, she stopped doing so round about _Drag_, but _Absolute Torch and Twang_ and ohmigod _Ingenue_ marry one of the most magnificent voices in music to some inventive, well-crafted songs. Like you, though, I'd be the first to toast Melissa and especially Natalie's retirement. Natalie has become *the* epitome of pretentious singer-songwriterdom to me. Such a fall from the great days of 10KManiacs. --Michael NP: Barry White, "Can't Get Enough of Your Love" ===== ____________________________________________________________ "Greetings cards routinely tell us everybody deserves love.
