[kj] The scond half of Geordie's demos!!

I hate to say it, but after listening to the instrumental demos from
Feb 07, I went *back* and listened to the more "finished" tracks with
Danni McCormack's vocals and absurd lyrics and found them newly
reprehensible.

Perhaps I'm just conditioned to think this way, but doesn't Geordie's
singular guitar majesty sound woefully misplaced tucked behind some
girl singing about romantic troubles?

My point is that Geordie's guitar summons the music of the fuckin'
spheres: the sounds of glaciers cracking and yea verily the earth
fucking vomiting. As such, "boyfriend trouble" shouldn't really be on
the lyrical accompaniment menu, no?
