I made a mistake - put the wrong title (this one) on another review. (See Lesson in Rock) Well, that's Blunt age talking. Anyway, I listened to this piece, too - I liked it because it was very very real - and like another reviewer said, the young woman has an amazing instinct about herself later. I thought the phone call dragged alittle but it then again it sounded exactly like people sound like when they're talking to each other - they talked at the same time and I missed a couple of lines but it sounded so eavesdrop-ish that I couldn't take my ears off it and I leaned in a little closer to get it.
Again - really like this Blunt Youth project. It's really important (to me) that these producers keep their authentic edge. Don't round off the corners to try and "fit in." Give them a context and take them as they are. Please.
