Formerly Cowboy and Spin Girl, also formerly Toothpaste 2000.  With 
Mas Rapido, they are now officially on their third utterly crap name!

However, this is the best album these two (Donna Esposito and Frank 
Bednash) have ever done, with some truly excellent songs given their 
best-ever production.  However, it suffers from the very same problem 
all of their previous records have: Donna is an amazing singer and 
Frank...isn't.  All of their records alternate between the two, and 
always, Donna's songs kick Frank's songs to the curb.  He does acquit 
himself nicely with "Emily Lloyd," though.

Anyway, as Michael says, this album isn't actually coming out until 
February, so it's not really eligible for this year's lists.

OK, who's got the story on these guys (actually men and woman)?  I 
just
got copy of their CD "Pity Party" on Parasol and I'll be damned if 
it's
not catchy as hell. The songs with the female vocals sound a little
Lush-ish (vocally that is), but in a completely pop setting.



I'll be spinning this quiet a bit over the next several days to see if
it'll crack my Top 10.



Very nice...



Chris
