(look at the cellist’s shit eating grin at 5:17–I’d be like that too if my stage act was half as tight) I almost forgot: [this](http://kr.youtube.com/watch?v=yrctMvIWpG0) is the single funniest video I’ve ever seen on youtube. keep an eye out for “milk the bull” (yes.. bull) and the full demonstration at the end. 😃 on second viewing, that video is actually much less funny without the presence of n2o, but I still recommend it. ---

Did I not get to the amazing part yet or is it just not my thing? [/QUOTE] well halfway through that particular video would be around the 4 minute mark, which is after the end of the song–the video is mislabeled or something. 😕 At any rate, I guess its just not your thing. What gets me is her voice (and the tasteful totally reverbed out backing vocals really added to it imo, although I think they could’ve backed off on the piano and some of the strings for a less lush mix). It’s also not a genre I usually listen to and the newness kinda adds to it. ---
