The Living and the Dead

OMG. and I was supposed to be studying html.
In the end. I stupidly went online to find out about the presidency debate. which is tmrw, by the way 900am sg time.
But of course I got distracted by youtube and amazon.com
tsk tsk. html help, anyone?
tonight I have been listening Scarlett Johansson, Tom Waits, Jolie Holland and Charlotte Gainsbourg (who is gorgeous)
Hollands new album is well... popish. I dont know if its in a bad way or not. To most fans, its a welcome change from her dark, obscure-countryside-inn bluesy feel.
But then it was what I kinda appreciated her for. Not that this album hasn't got its plus points.
whoever produced/mixed this album did well by using her beautiful rustic voice to its maximum effect. so what was once her primitive box violin like voice now sounds like a neo middle ages plus kinda thingy. I mean her voice sounds richer and more pop now but I guess it suits the album. Saw the viddyO for Mexico City and she's gone gorgeous. I mean gorgeous in Lizzie's perspective. But I'm kinda still sitting on the fence on this album, until I've heard the whole thing. I only hope there's more of the old Jolie in it.
I want Cds and I want them badly :(
somehow getting them off the net isnt as thrilling as it was for me anymore.
