Talk about attraction, talk about electronics

I found out today that Rhett Miller has a MySpace page. It makes me sad with the cheesy, but happy because he has some songs on there, including a re-recording of "Singular Girl" which is one of my all time favorite Old 97's tunes.

You know how when you love a song, you are always offended and a little bit annoyed when it's remade? Even when it's remade by the same band, ala Bon Jovi's "Prayer '94"? That's totally not how I feel about "Singular Girl". I love it even more than I used to if that's possible.

Am also enjoying the other songs and am considering picking up his new album when it comes out next month. It seems very promising, since I really enjoyed his first solo effort, despite the overproduction. However, the songs I've heard so far don't have that same over-stringed approach, so I think things are looking up.

I got a gift of fruit today at work — a large orange. Yay!
