Watching Elephants Smoosh Mollusks

Task:
White Stripes - Elephant vs. Ween - The Mollusk

Notes:
- Tell them you haven't listened to Ween before, but you have listened to The White Stripes

- Tell them that Ween swearing in their songs is pretty rad.

- Mollusk has a great sound, nicely varied, and interesting

- Remember when you bought Elephant in Canada... in the mall. Tell a story about it, and relate it to Zeppelin somehow.

- Tell people you'll keep listening to Ween

- Everyone loves the white stripes... except that person who said they didn't

- You aren't that person.

- Remember to read over the review, to make sure you didn't write strips instead of stripes... people will think you're talking about whitening your teeth... terribly relevant, but not the point of this exercise.

- Suggest everyone listen to both these albums* *not at the same time

- Listen to the albums again, but this time write down legitimate, musically-related points about the songs, and present them as the basis for deciding who wins.

- Under all circumstances, make sure Dwight's album loses.

- Make sure Elephant wins regardless, don't tell anyone you let your cat decide.

- Finish this before Andrew starts complaining.
