Loved the review, Louise! You need a career where you can put that eloquence to work for you--kudos!

Thanks Vikki.

The more I listen to this song, the more I like it, and the more impressed I am that they just didnt go for something "safe"

I commented on their page that i was put in mind of Kurt Weill in a poncho and a cowboy hat listening to this.

Steve, Jim and Ruben have all expressed an interest in avant-garde music

I...AM...SO....PISSED OFF RIGHT NOW.

Last night I got home late - 8:30 PM. My Internet was NOT WORKING!

This morning - STILL NOT WORKING! I came home today - HEY, IT'S WORKING! But then - When I try to buy the mp3 and click on "checkout," I keep getting an error page. What is going on? Is this a problem with the site or is it still my computer? How do I find out?

Sorry if this has been addressed in the thread, but again, I wasn't able to get online since yesterday and my patience has been stretched way too thin to try to deal with reading this whole thread.

One good point, though - at least this is just a side project by the band and not an actual Al release. Otherwise I would be seriously pissed off even more than I am now!

Yeah man, for some reason it makes you wait a good 20-30 mins or so before you can download it. Try clicking the zip link in your email in a few mins...

I was wondering where you were Bruce! The Song Tournament was all of sudden put to a halt!

No, it won't even let me BUY it. I clicked on it to put it in my shopping cart. Then, I went to my cart, and then clicked on "checkout" to pay for it. But it takes me to the standard "Internet explorer cannot display webpage" screen.

EDIT: Firefox also give me an error message. It's not a connection problem, though. I'm able to get to all other sites right now.

Is the song available anywhere else?

No, it's not.

Actually, I think I figure out the problem. I think Norton was blocking it for some reason. In fact, it was also blocking ALL sites that required me to log in, including my different e-mail sites. I turned Norton off temporarily, and was able to log in and puchase the song. I'm trying to download it now, but it's going VERY slow. Much slower than most things I've downloaded. Did it take a long time to download for anyone else (I have cable internet, so it's usually pretty fast).

It seemed to download pretty quickly for me.

It finished downloading. I am listening now.

Um...I'll review it later after I read some other reviews....

Right now - first impressions....the lyrics sound like something from one of the Tribute albums....Yeah. Not that clever. The music is just alright.
