Annihilate me, infiltrate me, incinerate me, accelerate me, mutilate me, inundate me, violate me, implicate me, vindicate me, devastate me

Love me like a parasite, love me like a dying sun
Love me like a criminal, love me like a man on the run

Radiate me, subjugate me, incubate me, recreate me, demarcate me, educate me, punctuate me, evaluate me, conjugate me, impregnate me, designate me, humiliate me, segregate me, opiate me, calibrate me, replicate me.

This kills me. "Inside" by Sting. Such a powerful composition of words, music and imagery. Pretty good album, this. Its got a lot of weak tracks but the few good ones make up for it. I was disappointed, tho', with Anoushka Shankars sitar playing on "Book of life". Sounded like a mother-son reunion scene from 80's Bollywood. No?

Been listening to IF. For what music most people i knew were getting into back then i must say i was very pleased to feel the strains of where i think i peaked in my listening. All that nice grunge, with that special trip inducing album planning... those were the days....

It shouldn't bother me, no, It shouldn't But IT DOES! Small victories...

Anyways, I thought you could check out my old band Clockwork Orange if you like...or not... up to you. I'm sending you the links to download anyway. if it doesn't work at first its because of the limited traffic allowance on Geocites hosted sites.

Most of the Junta made an Evanescence connection... Very upsetting.
