So I listened to The Microphones and liked them Alan. But what is the connection with Mirah? Or is there not one, and I'm just going crazy?

Mirah was a part of the band. On their older albums, she sang a bit. On "The Glow Part 2" she only sang on a couple of the tracks. Her role isn't nearly as prominent as they were in the past. She was more concerned with her solo career than working with the old group, so yeah, that's why you don't hear her a lot. She was just used for backing vocals a couple times on this album.

Oh okay, yeah, I knew she had some sort of connection by my memory (one of my friends CONSTANTLY talks about her) but I couldn't remember what it was.

Goodbye you liar,
Well you sipped from the cup but you don't own up to anything
Then you think you will inspire
Take apart your head
(and I wish I could inspire)
Take apart your demons, then you add it to the list.

Alan, I listened to The Two Headed Boy Part 2 and while I agree that the lyrics are amazing, the singing is often - how shall I put this - unlistenable. It is not "good bad" like Conor, it is purely "bad bad".

Hah.

This is funny because you're fucking wrong.

To say Conor Oberst is better than Jeff Mangum at anything except being a whiney little bitch is a lie.

Wow, I'm stating that I don't like Conor's voice you cunt. No one asked you to respond, seeing as all you do is insult me in every single post that follows me anymore.

And what can I expect from a drunk emo bitch anyway? Of course she's going to like Conor Oberst. She needs a thread to make her happy because her life is sooo tough because a boy doesn't like her. Continue to listen to shit, just don't come in my thread and say it's better than real music.

Don't talk to me. You haven't spoken to me in months, don't start now. I don't need to hear you defend your friend. It's not worth the time.

Don't come into my thread and say my favorite song by my favorite band is flat out unlistenable. I don't want to hear that. Next time you want to post in here, go drink and cry about boys some more.

Calling someone a "cunt" and a "drunk emo bitch" is probably one of the most disrespectful things you have ever said in here. It's infantile. Someone states why they don't like a singer and gives the reason why, like you have done so many times before, and you freak out. I don't know if you have some sort of massive inferiority complex or what, but maybe it's time that you go seek some serious psychological counselling. Really, I don't understand what your problem is Alan. At times you are an extremely likeable person, but the you freak out and become the Commander in Chief of all assholes in the world. Why? What is so bad in your life that you have to be suck a dick? Is it something any of us can help with? Time after time so many people have stuck up for you and then you say stupid shit like that above, and it makes them look like dumbasses. It sucks. So maybe it's time for you to just go away for a while until you can get some peace and balance in your life.
