Dang, yeah, all the lyrics are on ao.net, but I’ll bet I don’t actually use the word “lyrics” much. Ouch. Well, something to work on. (I also am so far behind I don’t have LTTEV2 lyrics up at all. *cry* )

Interesting you should mention this - it's something I've had in the back of my mind for a while as I try to build some more music-centric pages off the base of my blog. Sloan's website is excellent if only for "getting it" in Web 2.0 fashion. Nice, clean design, RSS, lyrics, tour dates, no flash auto-playlist screaming at you, etc. I'm also partial to the sites for DIY web-based dudes like Jonathan Coulton and Scott Andrew, but that may be just because I want to be them...

I think it’s because they’re worried about copyright? But … it’s not like the Internet won’t be replicating it.

I hate hate hate it when bands don’t have lyrics on their websites. I don’t understand it at all.

(I am, admittedly, a lyrics person.)
