muah ha ha ha ha (maniacal laughter knowing i've tortured Lisa)

just kidding. there'll be more shows and i know you'll be there!

so yeah...
i have actually been really not into many of Ani's later albums. i
loved them all very thoroughly until little plastic castles, the first
of her albums that actually had songs i really DISliked on it. i
couldn't believe it. certainly i'd had favorites before, and therefore
ones that were less than favorite, but to actually cringe from hearing
an ani song was truly a surprise to me. i do love some of little
plastic castles. and i do love a few songs on each album after that.
but evolve was actually a pleasant surprise for me, in that not a
single song made me cringe, and i really really got excited about 4 or
5 songs on the album. i do have some negative criticism of the album,
but i really really like it better than most of her recent stuff.
Slide has got to be one of my all-time favorite songs even though the
lyrical content lacks cohesion to me. the music of it is just
brilliant. and the lyrics and music of the song Evolve are fab. and
the lyrics of In the Way are profound. so i am more into ani's latest
than i'd expected. of course i buy them all anyway. even with my
various disappointment in her, i have the utmost respect for the woman.

whooo hooo for the cd version of With Mouth and Hands!!! you rock,
Lisa!!!

yay. could we get any input from the other 5 people on this list? i'd
love to hear from y'all.
blessings,
kristi
