   About Guardian Ear
The Seattle-based experimental quartet Guardian Ear probably shouldn't exist. Listening to them for the first time recently left me with a feeling of my mind, no, my entire exstence being turned inside out and splattered against the walls of my apartment. When that happens you get a good look at your own inner depths, and you start to realize that there are several good reasons that you usually keep them tucked away so nicely. This effect was no accident either. These sadistic bastards openly flaunt their irreverence for convention, custom, expectations and beauty with every last scratched-out note. The oboe (...they have an oboe!) flows gracefully over an undulating rhythm section, trying, painfully, to paint something smooth and sweet, while it's nemesis, an electric 5-string cello relentlessly beats every last melody into cowering, pathetic squeeks and fragmented, gasping syllables. The resulting "pieces" are often simultaneously bitter-sweet, confusing, pretty and ridiculous. It's hard to pin down any large influence over the music, with each member coming from accomplished, yet entirely seperate backrounds, which seem to overlap in the strangest places. Was that a hint of death metal? Was that a cock-rock solo played on a woodwind? Did they all just grunt in unison? What did he just break? This band may not be for the faint of heart or easily frustrated, but they seem to be doing what I had previosly thought was a passé experiment, exploring new realms of music, new concoctions of sounds and genres, and coming out with something legitimately original. -Ilene Zunwald (Music critic from Usedom, Germany)

Ok so now is the time, better now then never to tell you the truth about what all girls have on their mind and how they lie when they say that size does not matter. Take it from me, I am living proof that can confirm for you that the size and thickness of your prick does mean so much to all girls and if you can not satisfy a girl like the guys with big meatpoles do, then they will find a guy who can.
My bro Sammy heard about these enlarge pills on myspace a few months back and he ordered like nine bottles of the stuff, I know cause I found them stashed under his bed and he caught me snooping then told me all about his secret and that they made him grow almost 3 inches in two months and it got real thick too. He got them from this site just copy and paste it in your browser. MGFEE.COM
Best of all, the pills do work, Sam is living proof and I have no reason to lie for him, all the girls surround him now like he is some celeb, and he says its all cause of these little goodies from MGFEE.COM
Oh ya, just so you know, they guarentee that the pills work on any man or you get whatever you paid right back, so instead of thinking about doing it, just go to MGFEE.COM now and show the ladies what you are made of.
