- Vocal Effectitude: The vocals in “Strange Day In Mexico” sounds like it’s been pitch-corrected. Now I’m no stranger to the Autotune plugin, hopefully The Clintons use it for effect a la that one annoying Cher song. It sounded like the lead voice had just enough effect on it to not be obvious but to lend an eerie, indeed strange, quality to the song. Either that or he’s just got a really odd-sounding voice.
- Audio Feedback: Peter Verbruggen from The Netherlands wants more ladies on the show. Don’t we all?
- Audio Feedback: Jason Painter from Australia loves the live tunes.
- Promo: D on Drums from The Hillbilly Casino
- First Life: I’ll be brief on this one. Second Life is a drug, just like Caffeine. Taken in moderation, I’m sure Second Life can be fun, but the potential addiction is strong.
- Much-Needed Maintenance: I’ll be putting in to space dock next week for a tune-up of the ship’s engines. I trust my maintenance droids to keep the UTF Revolution running, but there are some jobs that just require a team of skilled engineers.

OOOOhhhhh maannnn!! This is so cooooollllll.
Thanks for playing my comment. And 2 ladies voices in your show, what a treat. Not that I mind men’s voices, please keep them in too, but it’s always a welcome change.
Whenever your above The Netherlands, please take your shuttle and come and have a cup of Senseo!
Regards
Peter

Loved your audio feedback bits from around the world. Mike Errico (whom I usually like a lot) sounded strained and unappealing on the live bit.
So … when are you going to have the Empress back on?
