The forum in which all human experience resides. Especially for fans of the now-deceased original Hall of the Wendigo. Still Number One with the core demographic.

Comedy number to finish with.
It's still one of the best songs on the album.
Playful, irreverent in a playful and irreverent and irreverently pastichey way I'd say.

It's actually okay and interesting, if a little twee.

It is over.
It was a collection of skillfully constructed songs performed by an excellent band but sometimes let down by mediocre vocals.
Now to look back at the thread and see what everybody else made of it.

Some of these songs must've'd've turned up on a contemporary film soundtrack.
She appears to've'd've'd done the whole OST to the (fairly annoying and boring) film Magnolia.
It contains my favourite Aimee Mann track. One that I think features her best vocal performance:

Well, considering my initial thoughts during the first couple of minutes were "this is going to be a long slog", it actually turned out okay overall. There was a bit too much generic, bland mid 90s college jock type muzak in there but also some more pleasurable aspects where more effort had been put into the production, her actual voice and such. Better than initially expected; much better than the opening couple of songs turned out to be!
3/5

Anyway, it were erkehh.
Barely, anyroad...
Hardly setting the world on fire, but harmlessly - and occasionally pleasantly - falling between t'cr*cks of cultural history.
Not elegantly though.
Just forgettably.
"Eeh, Mutha, Aimee's slipped through t'floorboards of cultural 'istory"
"Never mind, child, 'appens every other day in't rear parlour when t'clocks ger back"...
