Dictionaraoke (spell it right, Steeve) made me very happy for about three days
during the middle of clinical depression.
Like a comedy record, if you're over fifteen or so it gets old quick. But I'm
proud - I did not know we made Dr. D!
Also, I like the sound of dumb dry synth plus passionless spliced aprosodic
voice. It warms my heart.
Reminds me of Flying Lizards. Passionless rendering of popular song is a
perennial low brow joke, and it's still funny as hickbashing.
What's killing the project is Pan's superdemanding production schedule. Many
have fallen off the Snuggle's list due to the rigorous discipline he enforces
upon us all. The donna summer you asked for is in, you slavedriver.

But that's because he can't believe it. Jealous.
