So when they finally wise up and give me a radio show in these parts, I'll have to count you out as a listener I guess... 'cause this'll be one of the first songs I play... and often too...

Well outside what I normally like...never been a fan of the genre.

So..

What a wild tune. Freakin' loved it.

Must disagree. I think this song was pulled off VERY well. Pardon the obvious, but in singing about a machine, perhaps a lack of emotion might be an intentional choice? Clever irony? Too deeply hidden for you to identify?

And methinks you answered your own conundrum: if the shape of the microphone were just so, I might be in love with that particular strict machine myself!

P.S. No matter how many times I hear this
song, I never tire of it. Yes, it's THAT good.


I think “machine” is a metaphor, and she is obviously human. Still not convincing: animal, vegetable, or appliance. But if you like it then it’s ok.

For just a second, the intro sounded like NiN - Capital G, and I was prepared to be shocked.

But, it wasn't, and since I have heard this before, I'm not.

Let's also hear Ooh La La. I can't wait for Allisons next disc!
Edit- This track is also included on the Miami Vice soundtrack and it is worth exploring!

Infectious and catchy even for dance/electronic. Somehow this rates better than a 6.7 doesn't it?!
