Damn! That was a lot of posts!
I'm curious to hear what Jilli thinks about Dracula: Pages from a Virgin's Diary.
Heard about the Decemberists the other day and very cool for the Petra Haden association. The only a capella Who Sell Out song I've heard is "Armenia City In The Sky," which is bad-freakin-ass.

I will post a review the day after it turns up in my mailbox.
Jilli! Did you get that thingamawhozit done that you were supposed to get done?

Yes, and I didn't kill ANY cow-orkers, which I think shows real restraint on my part.
Okay, question: chatty!co-worker, who is a music snob and trends toward all things BritPop, told me that Frou Frou is "girlie" music.
I called bullshit and told him it was electronica-esque, which is not what comes to mind when *I* think of "girlie" music.
Opinions?
"Girlie" music has lyrics about flowers and horses and unicorns.
Or not.
Maybe shopping is mentioned....
I only know "Beauty in the Breakdown," but I can see why that song wuld be considered "girly" (for certain values of girly). It has soft, fuzzy edges and a female vocalist, and there's nothing to play air guitar to. It's not macho music, anyhow.
But I don't think "girlie" should be an insult.

As a comparison, he cites Sarah McLachli-howeveryouspellit as "girlie." And I just wouldn't put Frou Frou in the same category as Sarah Mc.

"Let Go."

I agree with you. I think more electronica/trip-hop with Frou Frou, not Sarah McLachlan. Is Azure Ray girlie? Portishead? Massive Attack's "Teardrop"?

So, the Pet Shop Boys, then.
