Bright Eyes, eh?
I guess I remain the only rock fan who cannot stand that album. I still have it, convinced one day I might replay it and discover its delights, but every time I try, I have to resist the urge to throw it out the window.
Me, I gots no culture. Besides, as you know, I like Billy Joel...
Shalom, y'all!

My sister didn't like bright eyes either for at least half a year, by her own admission she later realized that the annoying voice and strange melody patterns took some time to understand. Just give in LB. :)
I'd be more hopeful if I wasn't already a sucker for annoying voices and strange melody patterns...
Stay tuned for updates... :)
Shalom, y'all!
