You know, he hates being compared to Cole Porter. You wanna get on his good side, compare him to Irving Berlin.

I still think the only reason why he & nonesuch didn't release the three operas seperately was to quell comparison with 69 Love Songs (also three discs?). By that I mean physically, not the chintzy, 128kps iTunes release that I somehow am living with currently. All those songs sound soooooo out of context on Showtunes; maybe he wanted to kill his career?

i've been a huge stephin merritt since back in the day, but this album is boring, self-indulgent in all the wrong ways, and just plain god-awful. i give stehpin credit for even trying, but something's wrong here.
