Three Blind Singers (THIS IS NOT AN OFFENSIVE POST! I PROMISE!!!)

Trust me here when I say that I have absolutely nothing against blind people at all, and I'm not at all going to laugh at the fact that their hearing is extremely acute as well as their sense of touch. In fact, my best friend is... okay, scratch that. I just want to say that I'm not going to use stereotypes, and am not going to make fun of the fact that the people on the following cover are blind and very likely to play piano much better than anyone with a good eyesighhh... FUCK! Okay, it won't happen again.

I promise.

DAMMIT! Okay. Sorry. That slipped. Won't happen again. No stereotypes from now on.

I SAID NO STEREOTYPES!

Uhh... I'll just move on to showing you the cover and get this over with.

AAAARRGHHH!!!!!!

HERE'S THE COVER!

Pheww!...

Now, aside from it being a cover so dull that it becomes unintentionally hilarious, we have a title that doesn't really make much sense in the context of the name of the group. So, you're The Braillettes, and your album is called Our Hearts Keep Singing... Riight... You see, that album title would have made sense if you were called The Sign Languagettes, because that title would lead people to believe that you are also, in fact, mute. You sing in English: a language that doesn't require a person to see in order to be spoken.

Although you might be referring to the fact that none of the lyrics were printed in braille, rendering it impossible for any of you to read them, thus mentioning a technical difficulty you had during the recording sessions. On the other hand, you're the Braillettes. That band name would not make any sense if Braille wasn't actually involved somewhere.

My verdict is simple. What could have sounded inspirational ended up sounding retar... NO!... Stupid! WERE you The Sign Languagettes, though, you could have marketed your 11 tracks of total silence as an art experiment, and collectors would then want to buy the copies for ridiculously high prices for the artistic value of your inspirational statement: You don't need to sing... You just need to BELIEVE.

Disclaimer:
To all the blind people currently reading this blog entry, first of all, this post was not at all written as a means to offend any type of person, merely criticizing a lack of logic supporting the name of the above album, and secondly, if you're blind, how the hell are you reading this in the first place?
