Yep, thanks, you're right. I notched 'em up a bit. I also put in a couple more harmonies on the final chorus as someone else suggested.

Hey Noah, thanks for the review. :)
Your description of B&TP sounds really cool. Can we use it as a quote from you when the B&TP site goes up?

Hey Noah thanks for the review, and for pointing out the "liquidation" mis-pronounce. I love speaking French but pronunciation has always been my failing, so this is really useful, not just for this song. TBH I was dreading being reviewed by someone who is actually, good at speaking French, so thank you for not pulling me apart totally :)

thank you Noah for your extremely nice review. Ani is a real hero for me. I got to play on an album once at Congress House and those were some really good vibes.

If you're gonna not review my song say it's because you don't like fun rather than slandering my work as misogyny.

Eh, if you don't want to be thought of as a misogynist, not using the word 'bitches' in the first twenty seconds would be a start,

Taking words out of context is pretty shallow.

Dude, you used 'bitches' as a generic term for women, the laziest, shallowest, rap cliche of all time. Man up and take your licks.

PS, the second verse of this is just for you!

You can't be serial. A lazy rap cliche is rhyming 'model' with 'bottle'... "bitch" on the other hand is a common word used in everyday speech, all forms of music, literature of every kind. Blacklisting words is stupid for any artist unless you're managed by Disney.

No-one's saying you can't use it. Go nuts. Just don't expect people to think you're full of respect for women or a some kind of king of lyrical prowess if you do.

I don't know what you worry about. I meant a stylized video featuring the "Best new plant" of 2006, the Black Lace Elder, "the plant for passionate gardeners." Isn't this song about these brilliant contrasting blooms in your green house and how empty it is since the heater broke and you killed all the plants?

What were you thinking? ...OMG! now I understand...who do you think I am?

No you're missing the point, bitch. You didn't listen to my song and made shallow judgments of it and are now defending your ignorance by being a douche.

I've made no judgement of your song, because I didn't listen to it beyond 'bitches'. If that upsets you, use different words. If it doesn't, move on.

Yeah, you made no judgment on a song just a judgment on me as a person based on 6 seconds of a song.
