OK, now for Alice Smith! This review is going to be a full recollection of this experience for me so bear with me

It seems that the Alice fanship here on the org has been primarily through word of mouth. I heard about her through CalhounSq, who heard about it through Calldapplwondery, who probably heard it from someone else. Seems that all the people that I know who are into her heard about her not through traditional marketing or even hearing her music. They were recommended to check her out from people who were fans. Because I TOTALLY trust CalhounSq's musical sensibilities, when I saw her hyping this chick in a thread, I went out and bought the album blind without hearing so much as one single note.

On 2/22 my wonderful awesome friend Cali2 posted the upcoming tour dates and she was playing in Hollywood on March 15th, which is the anniversary of my cousin's death! Now I really don't need to explain the significance of her playing on that day but I can hardly not address it at all. When Cali told me that she was going to be in Hollywood on the 15th, I was just overwhelmed by the thought. New Religion is one of the most important songs of this decade for me. Actually, one of the most important songs ever. It was the literal soundtrack for what was happening to me. I had been telling people that I felt like I was finding my faith and my true god and then this song comes into my life at the exact time this is happening for me in the most amazing ways.

Well when I found this out, I thought of who I wanted to invite. I knew I wanted to invite my concert buddy but also wanted to make sure that I was around people who signified and understood my spritual journey and so I invited TheResistor, Madartista and someone I had recently begun dating. Both Madartista and TheResistor have played such a central role in the unfolding of my faith. I have a handful of mentors here and they are 2 of them They have been there even before all this started unfolding. They've been on my train from the beginning They are 2 people that I can speak to in the most honest and frank ways about spirituality and I always know I am speaking to listening ears and to people who are open to the possibilities.

The person that I had begun dating I invited for two reasons. The first is because of the way we met. It was a friday night and before going to the club, I was in one of those moods where I was just craving intimacy. I can wham bam thank you ma'am with the best of them but I just get to points where I crave intimacy like a vampire craves blood This was one of those nights. So before heading into the club, I actually said a prayer for God to send me someone that I could love on and kiss. So I was standing there and someone came up behind me and kissed me on the back of my neck and then walked on. I looked over and caught sight of him and went !!!!

So I approached him and before I asked his name, something came clear as day into my mind's eye and it was "God's Thumbprint" and I asked him if that meant anything to him and he was like interesting that you say that. My name is Michael and it means He who is like God. If you think about a thumbprint, it is a replica of you. Not a full representation but it is your unique identifier. And the Bible says we are made in the image of god. So the thumprint is a reflection of ourselves, just as we are a reflection of God. Both are likenesses Needless to say, the night ended up unfolding and that little prayer I said before going to the club was answered massively.

The second reason I invited him was for more selfish reasons. Well I'm not sure it's exactly selfish but I wanted someone I had a romantic connection with to be there for comfort. During the 5 years I spent with Greg, I didn't receive this from him. He wasn't giving like that and I always felt so alone during our relationship. When my cousin was killed I was so fucking devastated and it was something I couldn't bring to him because I knew he didn't/couldn't/wouldn't have it in him to be there like anyone who has a partner would expect when a death in the family occurs, especially one as tragic and senseless as what happened to my cousin.

Well he ended up calling me 2 days before and canceling because he forgot he made a promise to his friend to help him paint his friends house I felt so rejected. The responsible and reasonable part of me made no fuss about it because honestly, how could I ever have a problem with someone fulfilling a promise and keeping a commitment they made? But my loneliness echoed down the empty hallways of my heart..... I know someone who's mother died and her husband wanted to fly them both out to the funeral and she would not go. Later she told me why. Even though she was remarried, she never stopped loving her first husband and didn't want to go to the funeral because she wanted the confort from her first husband and since she wouldn't get the comfort she felt she needed from her current husband, she wouldn't go to her mother's funeral. I did not want this to be me.

The next morning as I was going to the cemetary I thought about how I was doing it all alone and it made me really really sad and it made me hurt. Since my cousin died, I think I am the only person in the family to visit her grave. My grandparents can't drive as far as it is to visit her because of health reasons. My aunt, her mom, is really sick and I can't speak for my uncle or my cousin Ronnie but I'm guessing at the issues involved. My sister hasn't gone and I don't think she will until such time as she has the luxury of having a normal life without her abuser being in it. I know it's more symbolic than anything else, going to the grave, because I know that is not where she actually is, but there is a certain degree of comfort about the ritual of it. And I thought of that woman who would not go to her mother's funeral becuase she didn't have her true lover by her side and I didn't want that to stop me from doing what I needed to do to represent the family and honor my cousin. I couldn't let that stop me.

Well Chris (Madartista) couldn't make it because his brother and sister in-law were in from out of town that weekend and I only gave a week notice anyway. So I invited someone from my work who is one of my concert buddies and not very connected to my spiritual journey as we are relatively new friends but she is someone who is open to listening to where my path is taking me plus she is mucho fun and great to hang around socially so it was an easy pick. And because my date canceled, I had one more open slot and this pick was a cinch as well. I brought Diminutiverocker When we get together, we so easily connect on so many things we have in common. She really gets what makes me tick and our conversations are never stifled or boring. Most times they feel like actual therapy sessions. I know for a fact I have seen her grow personally and she has seen the same of me. THAT is wonderful to connect on

My day started out at 11:00 am and the concert was at 7:00 and even though that gave me 8 hours to get to the cemetary and to LA, I didn't have my car so I had to do this all on the bus/train. At first I thought that I wouldn't be able to get to the cemetary because it is out there in the boondocks and I didn't think a bus line would go that far. But as I said, there was one bus line that ended at a college about 10 minutes walking distance from there. So that is what I did, took the bus and walked there spent about an hour there and then jumped on the bus to another bus to the train and didn't end up making it to the concert until 7:30! Thankfully there was an opening act so we didn't miss anything!!!

We saw Alice in Hollywood at the Hotel Cafe which is about 2 studio aparments put together! That is how small this place is! I just love LA for the fact of our small intimate venues that artists aren't afraid to perform in because at the end of the day it is Hollywood/LA and it's not like performing in a similar sized club in Nebraska. Sorry Nebraska, but there is a difference

With one album she has made my all time favorite artist list! The album is absolutely incredible and stellar. People always ask what kind of music is on the album and every time I am stumped as to an explanation Because she's black I'm sure there is a desire to peg her into the R&B/Soul slot but that isn't really the genre of this album. It's very ecclectic musically and showcases her amazing VOICE! For those who need a breakdown of the album here's my take:

Dream - Starts off with a repetitive piano note and goes into piano/drum beat and you hear the power of her voice within 40 seconds.

Woodstock - She has stated in an inteview that she feels like her music is a muppets soundtrack and this song would definitely qualify! Very light, vibrant, happy.

Gary Song - Begins like the soundtrack to a criminal flick. Like cops on the beat, the bad guy lurking in corners. The chorus is a grand breakdown with her voice thundering through.

If we start the ball, to rolling
will it stop or keep going to the point
I don't know when I'm gon stop?

New Religion - Absolutely splendid. Fucking marvelous Down home, country type goodness. This is tied with Desert Song as my favorite on the album. I wrote about what this song means to me above.....

Do I - Very sultry, emotional and raw.

Fake is the New Real - Like many of these songs this is stripped down with a stark bass line, just slinkin along.

Desert Song - It is just really hard to explain how absolutely INCREDIBLE this song is. Her strongest vocals on the entire album I think someone described it as a spritual sung on a southern porch and that is pretty damn close to the truth. Of course the strongest song is about getting the hell away from a man

My mama said
Life is for living
If you're unhappy honey
Go out and reinvent yourself

X INFINITY!!!!!

Know that I - This album ends on a more mellow note with this and the next song. This is so beautiful though

Secret - You're so used to hearing her belt you in the face with that voice and you can see that she can sing in more subdued manners. Another great song.

Love Endeavor - Probably the most contemporary of the bunch. Great great song!


All three friends that I brought were Alice Virgins Each of them asked me to explain her music or what she is like and I told them that they just had to wait and see for themselves. By the time the first song is over my friends are like this !!!! I told them now do you see why I couldn't explain this broad? She came out dressed in simple black. A top that cut down in a V to show her modest chest and these pants, the like I have never seen before! They were tight and black but the zipper started half way up the ass crack and came down and under and up to the top of the pants. They were bad ass!

It is one thing to experience her album, but it is something entirely else to experience her live. There is absolutely no doubt and it isn't even debatable that she has a very powerful voice. She's kicking your ass within the first 45 seconds of the first song and she slaps those cheeks over and over throughout the album. But she is even more out of control in real life. Throughout the night my friends were just like damn! and I was progressively more and more hysterical as the night went on. I mean I couldn't help but have the mad giggles as she revealed herself onstage.

Her natural singing range is of a lower register but Alice has a 4 octave vocal range so she can hit those high notes too and it is an amazing spectacle to hear her in a low down growl to being up there in the fucking Alps. Damn!!!! There was one point where she was just blowing the fucking house down and she was blowin and blowin and getting stronger and stronger and she took two steps back and even turned her head to the side and her voice was so fuckin boomin that it still sounded as if she was blasting directly into the microphone I was loony bin material at that point. I was liquid faint

So the night is progressing and I figure she will probably be singing every song from the album. Her playing this specific day was just one of those things where my path is being directly validated and I just couldn't wait to hear her sing New Religion. At one point when it was silent I thought of yelling "New Religion" but didn't want to because when something is unfolding naturally I don't like to interfere with it. Well it got nearer and nearer for her to be off the stage. She was going to sing one more song and she asked what she should sing, I and another person yelled out "New Religion" but a chorus of people yelled for "Love Endeavor". Love endeavor won out.

At that point I became defensive and I felt like I had been rejected twice. I was so so crushed that she didn't sing that song. And I almost couldn't believe that it was happening that she wasn't going to. The other things that happen have happened naturally and without me having to try and influence it and I just thought without any doubt that New Religion would have been part of the night. But it wasn't. I really started to spiral into the abyss of the emotion I was feeling. If I let myself, I can sink so low to where nothing else about the night mattered and I could let those emotions ruin the entire experience.

As we were walking out and to the car, I really saw that I was surrounded by the most amazing friends and that I did have the most excellent time up until I had realized I wasn't going to hear this song and I focused on being in those moments and not allowing the hurt to grab ahold of everything else and poison it. And I couldn't personalize her not singing the song. I mean she is allowed to create her own set lists But a more immature me could have allowed the rejection and the pain to ruin everything. I could have gone there but I didn't.

And I can't believe that that specific action on my part was validated by the wicked witch herself but I was listening to the Dr. Laura show 3 days later and someone called in with their problem and she advised them to choose joy even in disappointment. And as much as I hate to admit it, she actually is onto something there I did choose the joy and happiness over the hurt and pain. But I'm learning the dynamics of being able to still feel the pain but not give it the most power over me. That is a big part of last year for me.

My first reaction when my date was canceled was to cut him off period. I kind of looked at it as a sign that things weren't meant to be. If he couldn't be there on this vitally important day, and it feels that way to me, then he can't be my true love. A sign that natural order is not part of this equation. Coming from such crap ass experiences with men, I have come to the point where I have no problem just cutting someone off cold. But what could I be missing if I didn't at least express myself to this man and state how I feel? How can I honestly not honor a commitment. That is such a valiant part of a person's character.

I really did struggle with how I was going to address my disappointment because this would be something that I would think about every time I saw this man if I didn't have the chance to process it and express it and make it known and it would be my poison if I didn't. He probably is going to think I'm fucking insane but I am who I am and at least I'm trying to deal with it in a constructive way. Certainly if I'm going to be focused on forgiveness, I at least need to give the man a chance right? And don't worry folks, I'm not going to be a dumb doormat and give men license to ill I can still tell a cretan from a mile away but won't rush to judgement and do the first thing I instinctively want to do to protect my feelings. I'll think on it and if someone needs to get cut off then they will be cut. the. fuck. off! But this one is a potential keeper and I recognize that

Well, that's the whole of my review. Probably more information than people really wanted But there it is

PS, here was the setlist:

• Gary Song
  
• Fake is the New Real
  
• Dream
  
• Not Friends? (this was new and I'm guessing that is the title)
  
• Woodstock
  
• Have a Heart (this is new too and also a guess)
  
• Desert Song
  
• Do I?
  
• Eyes Without A Face (Billy Idol)
  
• Love Endeavor
  

She could have sang New Religion instead of covering Billy Idol. Damnit Billy!

Hello, my name is Richard Corona and I am completely interested in writing one of these books and my selection is Me'Shell N'Degeocello's "Peace Beyond Passion".

My approach:

The approach I will take with this book is primarily lyrically driven. I will no doubt discuss various angles about the music, as
musically this album is stellar, however the true approach to this album is the lyrics. One song off this album contains more depth than most of entire albums, and eclipses a lot of the trash that's being passed off for music these days. I would like the main focus to be on the lyrics and their meanings.

Brief Bio:

I grew up as Nondenominational Evangelical Christian, or Born Again, and I am also Gay. I come from an abusive background as well. Domestic abuse was prevalent on both sides of my family and eventually I went on to live through an abusive relationship myself. I have written about my experience here:

http://www.prince.org/msg/100/114206

When Peace Beyond Passion was released, I was out of the church for 8 years. I was out of my relationship for only 2 years at that point. When I heard this album I was just floored that someone was asking the same questions I was asking my Lord. I had a very tough and sad childhood and being in the church was not a positive experience for me. For the first time in my life, I had begun questioning what I believe and why I believe it and her album made navigating those psychotic waters so much less threatening and scary.

I have written briefly about this album on a website I have belonged to for the past 10 years. It was in reaction to 1 star reviews I saw on Amazon.com and the charges of racism lobbed against her. I couldn't let that stand and so I wrote a small review and submitted it to Amazon and then I created this thread for public discussion in the music section of the site (Prince.org)

http://www.prince.org/msg/8/146200

Obviously, I couldn't write an actual book or people would be scared to read the thread. But you'll see I love discussing music

Why I should write this book:

Well as I have explained to friends of mine, I got to meet Me'Shell very briefly at an in-store appearance. Most of the folks there were acting very stalkerish and I wanted to respect her space and not push myself on her when the time came for me to speak with her. In about 15 seconds I thanked her for sharing her art with the world and that she could never know how much her music has changed peoples lives. 15 seconds simply could not scratch one cell off the person I have become because of this album. I would love the proper chance to express my gratitude for this album and explain what this album really means and that is why I would love to write this book.

As a gay man raised in a faith that very often rejects me, I truly identify with the pain of her struggle and the absolute need to find
peace in one's life. Very often, I stand alone in the gay community with the artists I hold dear. Artists like Prince, Me'Shell, PJ
Harvey, Bjork....well they are not Madonna. Most people stare at me with blank faces when I mention these people. Well, I would consider it an extreme honor and privileged to be able to explain to my community exactly how much salvation can be found in this woman's music.

33 1/3 book series:

To be honest, I have never read one of these books. I had never even heard of them either. A friend of mine recently thought of me when he found out that you were accepting proposals and while I have been published a couple times for small things that I have written, I love the idea of writing an in depth piece about this album. I am interested in the Prince & PJ books and will be purchasing them to read. So as of now, I don't have any opinion other than I absolutely love the concept of these books.

Thank you for your consideration and I look forward to hearing from you.

Sincerely,
Richard Corona

The Brand New Heavies are one of my all time favorite bands. I discovered them in 1990 when my friend Blake asked if I knew who they were. I told him no and he handed me a tape and said he thought I would dig them. He never got the tape back I just couldn't bear to part ways with it. In 1994 they broke up and I cannot ever begin to explain how absolutely devastated I was by that. They weren't simply a band, they were a real part of my life and an essential part of the healing path I set to after I left my abusive relationship.

Back in 2006, I was listening to the local independent radio station and I. HEARD. THAT. VOICE! I literally sat riveted wondering if it really could be true. I knew that voice but it was just beyond hope that it could be true. The last time I heard that voice was 10 years prior, back in 1997 when N'Dea Davenport (the lead singer of BNH) released a solo album. It had been 10 years of silence though. She did nothing else after that. Now, the band had continued on with several different leads but none of them could dare compare to N'Dea.

So I sat there listening to this song, just knowing it had to be her and after the song was over, the radio host said it was a brand new track from the Brand New Heavies and that she had rejoined the band





OMG! Well, in August my wonderful, amazing and beautiful friend Guillermo (TheResistor) played a central role in helping the unthinkable to happen to me. He bought tickets for the Brand New Heavies concert at the House of Blues in LA and my long wandering in the desert of songless drought changed Sunday August 26th, 2007 was one of the best nights of my life X INFINITY!!!!! Now this was just unthinkable to me. Here this was happening, when really it almost never should have. When bands break up, they generally don't get back together. Many times the magic of past days cannot be recaptured even when they do.

They released this album last year:



It's definitely a strong album, and one that really has grown on me, but there isn't really one of those signature N'Dea songs like "Dream Come True", "Stay This Way", "Never Stop", "Forever", "Keep Together" or "Daybreak". I thought that maybe something had happened to her voice, that maybe she had some vocal damage or surgery or something. I wasn't really sure because her absence from the music scene all these years left me pondering all the possibilities. And I'm not saying she doesn't sing on this album because she does. And she sounds great but there wasn't that super punch that she is known to give. Listen to any of those songs I just cited and you will understand what I'm saying.

It still is a great album by all measures. But for me her VOICE is the thing that hooked me to this band and like a crack addict, I cannot get enough of it and just wanted all I could get after them being apart for so long. I will say though, that this album is exciting in that they didn't stick with the blueprint of their previous music. They really branched out with some different sounds for them and I love that about this album. The most familiar of the songs is "Let's Do It Again" and "All Fired Up". Those are so them, and "I don't Know Why I Love You" being the most shining example of her throwing down vocally. But I seriously wanted all tracks to be blowfests. Call me greedy if you must

So we get there early enough to snag a spot at the front of the stage. I can't tell you the nervous excitement I felt. I just couldn't believe this was really happening. So we were talking about the different songs we hoped that they would play and were just jammin along to the DJ cuts they were playing before the took the stage. Finally the lights dim and the show is on.

The band was dressed to the 9s and Miss Davenport had a black glittery dress on. Looking fine as ever All ideas I had about the possibility of her losing some of her vocal ability were thrown right the hell out the window as soon as she opened her mouth WOW!!!! Just WOW!!. She hadn't lost a damn thing. And they played every single song we wanted except for one! The whole time during this concert they are just playing the soundtrack of my life. All the songs that mean so much to me. This wasn't just music, this was my heart and soul. And you would have thought I was at church because the whole show I had my hands in the air in straight up worship and I was singing my heart out as if there were no tomorrow. There was no mistaking it..... I was clearly devoted to this band and their music.

So during the show I had a realization. I realized that their albums (and her solo) were released at very distinct and pivotal parts of my life. Their first album, self titled, only featured her on 4 tracks. The rest were instrumentals. But those songs are SO AMAZING that it was irrelevant that she sang on less than half the album. Those songs were just so stellar that they made me an instant fan and connected to this band:



She is not even featured on the album covered but damn is there a gem inside. An absolute pearl.

"Dream Come True"




"Never Stop"




"Stay This Way"



There is just a joy that shines through in this early stuff So different than what was happening in popular music at the time.


That album came out when I was 20 and still believed in the hope and utopianism of Love. This was back before I entered the absolute nightmare that was my relationship with my ex Paul. I look back on the idealism of those days and it makes me want to weep. Aging has a way of corrupting your dreams and when I look at the dark places that I went in the years after the first album came out, I cannot do anything but respect the innocence of my spirit at this time. Those songs are just about the purity of Love, believin in it and reveling in the thunder and flowers it brings. It was what I believed at the time and why I connected so hard to her music.

The state of my life, my mind and my spirit was in shambles at the time their second album found its way into my hands. I didn't come to purchase it until after I had split from my ex. I lost so much of my music collection when I was with him. One time he tried baiting me into a reaction as an excuse to fight with me and he took my CDs and snapped them into a pile on the floor one by one. I acted as if it didn't bother me in the slightest even though inside I was screaming in anguish. Music has always been the thing that has gotten me through all my dark times. As a kid I was tortured and thus spent most of my time alone. It was really the only way for me to be safe from the world. Music has always been my salvation.

So after I had left him I had moved back into the apartment we had shared, by myself, and I was in the position to be able to reclaim my musical life. This album was instrumental in helping me find solace, peace, healing and strength. There were many albums that did this for me but this was just one of the most important for me:





It was during her singing Brother Sister that I really started to realize how how hard those times were and how far I had come and I cried:

In my head, those words remind me what
Grandma Said, at times you'll feel a sting
There'll be sharp turns and uphills and closed doors.
Then she said hold onto your faith,
don't be scared go out there

Just stand up
Be strong
Go out there
Hold on
to the real things
that matter
cuz noones gonna hand it to you on a silver platter.....

I cannot tell you the measures of faith this song helped me to achieve. The whole album really. Especially when I think of my grandmother and how much of an inspiration she is to me. Her passing in 95 hurt me so badly but this song reminds me of all her love, all her strength, all her inspiration and the fact that I am cut from the same cloth as her only serves to remind me that I carry on the love, strength and inspiration. I spent 3 years in destruction and the songs from this album helped me to believe again. Not too long after getting Brother Sister, they broke up Only 2 albums under their belt and *poof* done. I couldn't believe something so magical could just disappear.

From what I have been able to piece together from research here and there (feel free to clarify if you know different), The Brand New Heavies were a stock band on Delicious Vinyl and the band did some sessions with Jay Ella Ruth. The label decided that they wanted to pair them up with N'Dea Davenport after Jay Ella Decided to leave. They then redid the songs they did with Jay Ella. N'Dea had signed an artist development deal and was basically on loan to the band. After the 2 records, N'Dea decided to pursue a solo venture.

Now, I went to Chicago in September and while there I found a Brand New Heavies Compilation of stuff that they recorded with Jay Ella Ruth. And I really don't want to disrespect the woman but the difference is just night and day and this band, IMO would not have taken off had they kept her. She did an OK job vocally but when you compare the versions, N'Dea just breathed such life into those songs with the purity and strength of her voice.

Anyway, so here we are and I'm hearing her singing all of these songs that have marked so much of my life and I was completely swept up in the enormity of what this band and their music has meant to me. So the concert ends and the club makes an announcement that the band will be staying to sign posters and CDs OMG! I could not waste this opportunity and so I stood there thinking of exactly how I was going to say what I had to say without taking up too much time in the line or aggravating the guards and stuff. So I stood in line and bought another CD and I had the band sign my poster but I saved the CD especially for N'Dea.

So I walked up and she said:

You were up at the front weren't you?



I saw you!

I would like to say something.

OK.

I just wanted to really just say thank you for your music. I had a revelation of sorts as I was listening to the show. I realized that all your albums came out at very distinct and definitive periods in my life. Your first album came out when I was first discovering myself and before I went into an abusive relationship. Your second album came out after I had left that relationship and it became part of my healing. Your solo album came out when I was very sick and thought I was dying and the song "Placement for the Baby" gave me so much comfort and so much peace during that time.

Oh my God, you're going to make me cry.

And now this album comes out and I'm at a point in my life where I'm pursuing becoming a counselor to help abused people and people in my community.

You are coming into your own I have a story about coming into my own and I haven't told it yet but I will One day you'll hear all about it Here, let me give you a hug.

And we hugged!!!!! OMG!!!! CRYING! I just could not pass up the opportunity to express to one of my biggest musical heroes the impact of her art on my life. Thank you Guillermo for making this possible. It was one of the stellar highlights of the year, and of my life. I will never forget it

First...

nice work

you put favorite song!

You're a freak!

04 Mechanical Forces of Love / Medicine - "As You Do"

OOPS! The band name is actually Medicine. I like MFL better! 8 track is up and the mailman delivered Mechanical Forces of Love so I aint changing it

Apparently, Bruce Lee had some very busy children. We all know what happened to his son But did you know he had a daughter? Neither did but now I do and you do too! Not until researching them for this thread did I know she was Bruce Lee's daughter. This duo is guitarist Brad Laner, and Shannon Lee.

Sander mentioned, in one of the threads, that he loved "blip" and "bleep" kind of songs. I love this song because it is like a thousand slices of individual ingredients, baked together into a superfantastic musical caserole

SupaFunkyOrgangrinderSexy said:

I remember this song from when this album was released, but then forgot about it for some reason. I was familiar with the old Medicine with singer Beth Thompson. How strange is it that that incarnation of the band appeared in The Crow movie and soundtrack which was the last film by Jason Lee, brother of future member Shannon Lee?

Wow! That is too much of a coincidence to be coincidence! If that all happened just because, I am floored! It's so sad that her brother was killed. So so sad. I hope she has managed to find peace in it. You know, I don't think I ever saw that movie.

You're a freak!

All three friends that I brought were Alice Virgins Each of them asked me to explain her music or what she is like and I told them that they just had to wait and see for themselves. By the time the first song is over my friends are like this

It's all true!

We had so much fun that night!!!

This is all your fault! The insistence on the "rules" had me thinkin of a way to get that hidden track heard and this was the idea that came to mind! Since hidden tracks were forbidden, you forced me to take this course of action!

Oh please, everyone is doing an extra track now so why should your mix follow the rules?

You could have tacked the song onto the end and not written about it. Then as people listened and expected the mix to end, another songs suddenly pops up! People would have been all like "wha's dis???" SURPRISE!
