Swooniest: Michael Stipe… I’ve spent the better part of the last few hours scouring the internet for the What’s the Frequency Kenneth video, or at least a good still of Stipey, in mid hip swivel wearing that little star t-shirt… this is the best I could come up with. Oh, swoon!
Best Lyrics:
I got a letter from the government the other day.
Opened it and read it, it said they were suckers.
They wanted me for the army, or whatever.
Picture me giving a damn. I say never.
~Tricky

Other friends of the family:
howard (no, we’re never gonna survive)

lauren (i slowly wilt and die)

kb (i wouldn’t give a hoot in hell for the journey now)
marisa (So why not stop trying to run and hide)
