One of the major problems I have with doing
voicetracked shifts is the simple fact that you end up
talking up the same songs over and over, there's no
full songs between the talk-upd, and with scott

like you could when you are live...
"And, once again, the latest one from kylie
Minogue...Can't get you out of my head..."  it never
ends...
