seattle apparently has amazing architects too.

I feel a little stupid posting this as I read about these guys on another blog and could just as easily link to it and use my space to tell you more about me. But, I have little of note going on and thought that these guys were worth mentioning. I spent a good 45 minutes trying to stop looking at pictures of the amazing architecture they produce. You should definitely check out Chicken Point Cabin and Bird Watcher’s House. The site is a little slow but it’s worth it.
re: your “currently” which knocks the new Kanye album
You need to lay off. 808′s and Heartbreak is a good album. Not every song has “robot assistance” AND it is a concept album. Every hear do Dark Side of the Moon? Duh…
Carry-on with your Cher bashing though.
Ha, aww poor Gary. At no point did I “knock” the new Kanye which you hold so dear. I merely pointed out he utilized Auto-Tune. Kanye does use it on all but potentially 2 songs (Street Lights and Coldest Winter). I’m not saying it’s a bad thing but when it comes to Bon Iver, he doesn’t need any help “tuning” his voice. Also, I wouldn’t compare 808s with Dark Side of the Moon.

Even the pros refer to it as The Cher Effect
