A Little Friction is vocalist-songwriter-keyboardist Amy Tobin and drummer-producer Kevin Carnes. Amy sings raw and theatrical, Kevin plays crazy and controlled. Collaborators since 1999, the band became official in early 2006 with the release of "When sparks fly." The album is a sexy swinging journey through long-distance lust, politics, and the end of childhood. "Very Kurt Weill...phenomenal vocal...a dynamic, electric record," said Collectedsounds.com. Kevin Carnes, "widely acknowledged as the best drummer in San Francisco" by the LA Weekly, co-founded the political punk-noise band The Beatnigs and the broun fellinis, the jazz-roots trio that helped to create San Francisco's acid jazz scene. Amy Tobin "golden-throated...sly, adult, and irreverent" (SF Weekly) is the creator of the cabaret rock opera "The Esther Show." A Little Friction evolved out of Tobin's theatrical experiments in San Francisco bars and bathhouses, and Carnes' appearances with friends like George Clinton and the P-Funk Allstars, DJ Cheb i Sabbah, Soulstice, and Consolidated. We call it cabaret rock, to which reviewer KT Hall on CDBaby responds: "To me the term "cabaret" is dependent on an intimate communication between the musicians and the audience, and A Little Friction easily achieves that kind of rapport with a glam-rock edge that is truly compelling." Just come hear for yourself.

All the girls out there are totally lying when they tell you that size does not matter. Want proof?
I am telling you this because it is the honest truth, look I should know, they say that it is all in the way you use it, not how big it is, well I got news for you all, that is pure lies.
I know from personal experience, I will tell you about a secret that Joey has made me promise to never ever tell anyone, but since he has not called me in three weeks after standing me up, I am going to break the promise and tell you how he went from having a tiny wang and in 4 months he is now about nine inches and get this, it is still getting bigger. He has been secretly taking grow pills from this site, copy and paste the address into your browser to see them. HAREK.COM
I found out when I was at his house, three fridays ago, we were getting ready to go to the mall, so while he was in the shower, I went in his room, sneeked under his bed and found a box with pill bottles in it, there was like 9 full bottles and 4 empty ones, all ordered from HAREK.COM I was laughing at first but then when he came in the room and caught me looking at them, he freaked out and made me sware to not ever tell anyone about them, especially girls from school or work that he has been dating for the past while, now that I think of it, he has been rather busy with all the popular girls around here, when just last year he was the shyest when it came to girls.
I just never put two and two together until he explained it all to me, I did see his prick and yes, it is huge, pronostar huge, the thickest and longest one I ever seen.
I know this sounds really shallow, but I am considering ordering 6 bottles from the website at HAREK.COM for you know who.. he does not have a myspace account, so he is not gonna see this. They guarentee that the pills will work on any man, or they give you your money back, living proof that they do work on any guy, seeing is believing. HAREK.COM
