Dear Santastein,
The GIJoe doll last year was super amusing. Good one. But seriously, this year could my Man please be present in my stocking? Yeah, i know i'm jew-flavour but i like doing the stocking. Be happy, im buying into your red&white version of christmas. So - back to business. I'd like for him to be an amalgamation of Oz in Buffy (perhaps he could also maybe look like, or actually BE seth green?) - he of the black nail polish, monosyllabicness and guitar strumming - George in Grey's Anatomy (messy, bumbling, sensitive, witty, wounded) Jack Johnson (for the lyrics and the woman-loving. Pesach in Hawaii? yes please) and lastly - Ray Lamontagne, he of the raspy voice - "..battered, bitter and beseiged, devastated and uncomprehending.." . C'est possible?

"Its so easy to get caught up in your own experiences," LaMontagne says. "They can seem so important. But there are billions and billions of other experiences going on. I guess the album is just me trying to look at things beyond myself, wondering what it is to be alive and what it's all about. I do get into my own experiences — I put the blinders on, in that sense, just dealing with my own life events. But then I try to open the blinders back up again, at the end."
