Thanks Aaron! That helps a lot, although now that I know there are such specialized and tiny tools involved, I'm really just hoping they don't get any dirtier than they already are. lol
I'm playing it on my GBA, does that count? lol
And steaks sound delicious right about now.
Most of Bad Religion's songs, when they're stripped down like that, have a very similar folksy feel to that one, you might like them. There's also a Youtube girl named Emily Davis that does some good acoustic covers of their songs.
I think there was even a big stink when Metallica released Ride the Lightning, and people thought bells was "too slow." They just can't catch a break. Ironically, it's their versatility that probably helped make them so big. That and their insane work ethic in terms of touring.
So you are a fan of Ryan Gosling, and your wife is not? I have never had a girlfriend that was not enamored with him. lol Is it something to do with his personality, or just the movies he in, I wonder? Either way, it's five o' clock somewhere, enjoy your vacation! 
I really dig "Circle" and "Vermillion Part II" by them. Although the latter gets kind of creepy, lyrically....
Glad you got more writing done.
Golden Sun is indeed awesome, even I can admit, as a non-JRPG fan. Only thing I don't like is the combat, which, sadly is a pretty large chunk of the game. lol
I actually was. Got the ending with James McCloud not thirty minutes ago. lol
Well, if I'm allowed to go from what I've seen and read, Bioshock: Infinite for both platforms seems to be a strong early contender.
Really loved all the vocal harmonizing today, particulary "Yangtze River Shanty" and the one with the long name anteceding it.
Only one I wasn't really fond of musically was Po Lazarus, it just bothered me they weren't all in sync with each other.
I'm sad to hear your friend Tom has vocal cancer, I like his voice.
As for work songs, "16 Tons," "I've Been Working On the Railroad," and a couple other obvious ones come to mind. I also thought to myself after seeing this, "wait, wouldn't the women from Princess Mononoke have a work song?" I was correct in that assumption, but sadly the version from the movie is not available; the one I saw up was muted for copyright infringement, the rest are covers. Oh well, you can at least get the nice melody from it off Youtube; although it's nothing like the cadence of these work songs, really.
Star Ocean and Morrowind... always heard of those, but never played them. Eleven bucks is a great deal, though!
I have the Castlevanias after Dawn of Sorrow on DS, still haven't finished Order of Ecclessia.
I don't know anything about Naruto, but I did see a Let's Play of that game online, and it looks like the fighting game I've been wanting to play. I know there was something with the similar concept of having a large open-space arena released for Dreamcast, but I forgot the name of it, and that Naruto game just looks awesome.
