Quote from: "Dancing About Architecture"
Given that it's been blown wide open that Ashlee Simpson lip-synchs, a New York group is offering her fans the chance to try what they feel is "real" music.

HOPE, or Horrified Observers of Pedestrian Entertainment, is giving people who bought Simpson's album the chance to turn it in for what it calls "one of a higher entertainment quality."

Fans who bring the disc to New York's Knitting Factory can trade it in for one by Elvis Costello , The Ramones, X, Jimmy Page and Robert Plant , Aretha Franklin, Ray Charles, The Grateful Dead, Joni Mitchell or Brian Wilson.

The 19-year-old singer was busted for a "Saturday Night Live" lip-synch gone awry, with her manager-father saying that his daughter used the extra help because acid reflux disease had made her voice hoarse. Joe Simpson added that she's never used the extra help before.

If you're not in New York, you can still get in on the deal by checking out www.HopeInAmerica.com

I say go with the Elvis Costello C.D..

I wonder if I can trade in my sister’s entire record collection with these guys.

I can't decide if this is a really good idea or the kind of stunt Truth would use to piss people off.

Eew, I think I'd still rather listen to this lipsynching character than the Grateful Dead.

I'd rather listen to Phish. No, wait, I mean silence.

Come on, American Beauty is great.

But Jimmy Page and Robert Plant?  What's wrong with Led Zeppelin?

And Shakedown Street is nothing if not a giant party. I understand your point, andalucia, but you really can't get behind Jessica Simpson to make it. Vanessa Carlton, maybe.

I wondered that myself. Why would there be any reason not to offer the people Led Zeppelin II?

I saw Page and Pant when they toured a few years ago, and althought it was very cool, I can't imagine actually buying an album.  Have they written any new material?  If so, I can't imagine it would be any good (have either of them done anything good since the Zep sunk?).  And that one CD they put out a few years ago kinda sucks.
