I wouldn't worry too much. The web site is rife with transcriptual
errors. This is not David's fault or nothing...it just seems that no one
really cares to correct the mistakes. It's much more fun to read the
lyrics and smugly say to yourself...HA! There are too many "ands" in
that line!

Buffalo, eh? Try scooting over the Canadian Border to Sloth in Niagara
Falls, Star Records in St. Catharines, or Station To Station in St.
Catharines. Some early JBC on display here, but don't even bother to ask
for an import of Illuminate (Obviously won't be a problem for you)...I
spent six months on their ass and they kept pushing Spacemen 3 on me.
(Which is okay, 'cause they're really great to chill out to.)
Or if that doesn't work, email to Woodroes@AOL and tell'em your a big
fan
of theirs and -- by the way -- would their lead singer consider selling
you his extensive collection of JBC memorabilia including rare CD
re-releases of Gentlefolk and Big Questions and what not. They're from
Youngstown (Lewiston-Porter) just up the I-190...

Matt, who's expecting some very nasty email from utfp any day now.
"I would like to fall in love again but my only hope is that love doesn't happen to me so often after this. I don't want to get so used to falling in love that I get curious to experience something more extreme -- whatever that may be." -- Douglas Coupland, _Life_After_God_
