After some research (i.e. playing the CD) I have come to the conclusion that I do not like Rasputina. I thought I would, because I enjoy listening to strings, but they are either over- or under-produced, or possibly just lacking in talent, and also I hate their arrangements. "Why Don't You Do Right" is one of those songs that should be impossible to ruin, but they somehow succeed.

In other news, I think I am having an online affair with Christine. She is from Germany, and very pretty. Currently she is in Charlotte, NC, and I am plotting ways to get her to the west coast.
