Why I Hate The 
October Project 
by Alice Teeple 

The October Project is this dumb band which thinks it is really cool.  It is one of those bands that people use as a name-dropper to impress each other at a) coffeehouses or b) bohemian parties.  People think that if you listen to a pseudo-Celtic band like the October Project, you must be one of those renegade music lovers.  Well, friend, you aren't.  You simply listen to a band that utterly sucks.  The lead singer sounds like a cross between having stepped on something sharp, and deep bovine woe.  I really hate her voice.  I also hate the love songs, because they make love sound like some kind of tortuous lab experiment (with violins). My parents use their October Project CDs as a torture device, in fact.  Usually they only play them when I am not at their house.  But if I piss them off...well, on the player they go!  This prompts me either to stop pissing them off, or, more frequently, prompts me to vacate the premises. 

Although I am a huge fan of their cover art, I am not deterred by the interesting fonts or the fab-oo photography on the CD covers.  No - I have experienced a fate worse than Britney Spears: I have been subjected to the cacophony that is the October Project. 

The End.
