Sara Schaefer

Extremely witty & clever how you ranted off on Red about his carelessly rendering superfluous your review of the muchly anticipated new Shins album. Thus in my mind you were able to stay PC w/the popular crowd while avoiding giving muchly anticipated props to the muchly constipated Shins sound. Besides, that clip you played spoke sadly for itself. You know, just because Natalie Portman is a brilliant & charming actress, that doesn't mean her character's line to Zach Braff in Garden State should be taken as gospel. I mean Natalie was nuts in that movie. "You gotta hear this one song, it'll change your life I swear." Now of course, NOTHING could live up to that much crazed hype, but when Zach put the headphones on, I wasn't ready for how much it bored me to death. "Wincing The Night Away" is more than the name of the new Shins new album, it's a reaction to Shins' disease.

Meanwhile back on the doubleplusgood Sara side, when you went outside to make snow angels w/Bob & you suddenly just threw him down in the snow & then yourself on top of him, I howled out loud repeatedly. I guess when it comes to Robert Redford, no $1 million indecent proposals need apply. You're free to do what you want any old time. I can't wait for part 3.
