    Okay, okay-- but I defy you to tell me you like all the vocals on the Les
    Gammas or the Dusted! Also, I do really like the (limited) vocals on Blue
    States, the Hefner's grown on me a fair amount, & the Bent-- well, I *like*
    "Irritating Noises", but most of the other vocal trax leave me pretty cold--

    Also, why the heck does everyone consider instrumentals to not be "real
    songs"? If it's got a melody over some harmony, it's a song, dammit!
