he was tempered on "tempted."

For 'tempered' read 'replaced'

Evidence to the contrary:

There's A Story In Your Voice (w/Lucinda Williams)

evidence to the contrary: the entirety of this year's model and armed forces, for starters.

Ah, but on those records his voice was tempered by the basslines of Bruce Thomas, fcc.

no way, his voice is best when he was angry and yelling, as in his first bunch of albums.

i hate 'everyday i write the book'

E. Costello is best when young critics ignore him for a while.

― Tim Ellison (Tim Ellison), Thursday, 28 September 2006 22:46 (nineteen years ago)

I did not know that. weird.

― kyle (akmonday), Thursday, 28 September 2006 22:47 (nineteen years ago)

or wait, it's "black coffee in bed," isn't it? is he on "tempted," too?

― Tim Ellison (Tim Ellison), Thursday, 28 September 2006 22:47 (nineteen years ago)

i didn't think he was on tempted. he's definitely on black coffee.

His voice has never sounded better than when replacing the voice of George Jones. His version of "A Good Year For The Roses" is his best ever vocal performance.

For this utterly absurd remark, Geir, I kiss you.
