Reminds me of the time I played Todd Rundgren's
"Second Wind" for a friend, and all he could say was
"Listen to that cheesy synth patch." Nevermind that
this dude could never hope to play this music, let
alone compose it; no, instead, he reduces some
absolutely fantastic songwriting to the choice of an
effect. How revealing.
Nothing personal, Jaimie, but I harbor absolute
disdain for musicians who condemn compositions because
of the instrumentation. It's like not seeing the
forest for the trees.

P.S. ANYTHING by Shaw/Blades RULES! Great songwriting
and stellar vocals/harmonies.
