Well Davey, it took about one week for me to get this puppy from deepdiscountcd.com, not quite the eternity you figured on. I thought I made a mistake and ordered it twice, then I realized that my other order was for a cd titled "Post to Wire" by Richmond Fontaine (more on that later). It's really strange that the title is nearly the same as The Standard's record and that I now have both of them. Anyway, I got it on Saturday and have listened to it twice so far (I'm in Salt Lake City on business as I type this, so no time for music here) in my car and, well, I'm not disappointed so far. I can't do a fair review yet since I need several more spins, but so far so good. The one thing I don't care for so much is the lead singer's voice. It's not bad, but he uses way too much vibrato on some songs to the point of becoming annoying.

I know this ain't much, but I'm sitting in my hotel room with nothing much to do, so I wanted to check in with the board. I see not much is happening here either, so I guess I'll head down to the hotel bar and watch the stoopid basketball game that I couldn't care less about.

Swish - NP: Not a friggin' thing!
