I'd sooner cut my own throat with a spork.
Ted was playing Wing's covers of a few Beatles tunes for me yesterday, and it was entirely too painful.
(This is Ted's wife, J, but I can't get my computer to accept that I'm not him. Hardly fair.)

God, I'd hate to be a sucker who doesn't know he .... Wait a minute. I'm IN New York..... Wait a minute, I'm a Popdose staffer..... Wait a minute, I've got no plans those nights..... Oh my God!! Son of a....!
I like how you censored yourself by calling Jeff a "d-bag", as if she'd have any clue what a douchebag is.
Also, I'm pretty sure that performance ripped a hole in the space-time continuum.
Also also, I'm seriously tempted to join you guys in NY. I'll just have to find a way to explain it to my wife. Maybe I'll tell her I'm going to get a hand job from some random homeless guy - at least that's more dignified than admitting to seeing Wing.

Jason, you are one of the luckiest guys on the face of the earth! And Jeff is a generous lover. I thought the voicemail message from Samuel L. Jackson telling me to stop "Waxing my bald head" and go see Snakes on a Plane was awesome, but clearly a live phone call from Wing who sang to you can't even compare.

I forgot to mention this in my post, but after she called, I called Jeff, and he said to me, "It cost me 18 dollars!" I took this to mean "Look how much I spent on this stupid phone call," but he quickly followed up with "can you believe that's all it cost?" Generous indeed!

I'd like to see if Lou Reed would match that proposal.

Oh. My. God.
Words can't do justice to the sheer awesomeness of that performance. You're right: there's something that's just so darned sweet about Wing that you just want to give her a big ol' hug.

Your tiny, excited little "This is awesome" betrays your true joy!
TAKE FLIGHT, LITTLE WING!

Well, I know I'm not one of those expected Popdose staffers. See, Wing is such a ray of light, and I'm such a negative, cynical wretch, that if we actually inhabited the same space for any period of time... Well, let's just say that they could have saved all that money CERN spent on the Hadron Collider and just waited for our own personal black hole to form and collapse the universe.
By the way, that Hadron Collider thing? We're all gonna die.

Now we know what's the sound of the Hadron Collider at full potency.

You mean she didn't know "What A Fool Believes?"

OK, here's the deal: Wing is not a "singer". Tecnically, she is actually a kind of highly advanced human flute. My theory: she pushes the air stream up the trachea from the lungs like all of us but the air is then forced AROUND the vocal cords rather than between them. Wing: a miracle of music AND science.

Somehow your logical explanation doesn't make it less dire. Argh!

Probably because my "logical explanation" is pure BS. Fly on, little Wing.

Well then, here's a suggestion for a future Earmageddon:

I'm wondering, did she ever make it to New York?
