Nero has a karaoke filter, where its intention is to lower the vocals...obviously, this doesn't always work...i don't know exactly how it goes about determining what to filter out...it's seemed to work better w/ higher vocals...a few times it's worked great, sometimes it's passable...sometimes not at all...on a few albums it lowered just about everything OTHER than the vocals...as it's karaoke, you don't really need super-quality anyway...you don't get words or anything...i wouldn't doubt there's a way to do this w/out too much difficulty...but if it's something you already own and know, it's not too necessary...though i don't really know all the stuff i have too well...i do know at least 2 songs perfectly, and that's about all i'll be able to do in one week at Neil's anyway...so i'm good to go for now!

yes...it's a fucking amazing song...sometimes i forget that about certain songs, or i'll take it for granted then i'll hear it and i'll just be like "oh my god! why haven't i listend to this in so long!" my first choice was "Marilyn Moore" and then "(She's in a) Bad Moon" but they didn't karaoke-ize very well...Sonic Youth is one of those bands i've been listening to so much for so long that it amazes me at some of the lyrics i have memorized...especially songs like "The World Looks Red"...or "Skip Tracer"...but i guess that's the cool part of being an obsessive freak...uh, i guess...
