...with a kiss. But for the rest of us who will never win an Olympic figure skating medal, a spot on the pro-tour or a Canadian junior championship, life is a bit tougher. Our love of the sport rewards us with a few moments of glory on pavement, but when the game’s over, the job still sucks and the girlfriend’s still gone...
Starling's potpourri of accomplished pop styles is evident from the first track, "Don't Deflate," which is reminiscent of Fountains of Wayne.

After three tries driving up and down the strip, I finally find where I should be, the Winter Parking Lot. I leave the lot, step off the sidewalk and out onto the pavement, well in front of a white stretch limo. The driver stops beside me and shouts from his window, "Was that a smart fucking idea?" At first I can't decide whether his question is rhetorical, but it seems as though he wants an answer. I muster an "I'm sorry...
