I saw the following on Suzanne's road diary section:

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
We
have rearranged some of the songs to have extended parts where Bill
and Greg can improvise - "Blood makes Noise" is one and really sounded
good. We are doing this one completely acoustically, the first time I
have ever performed without the sample. It took off right away.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

May I just say: Yay!! I never wanted to mention it, but the sample (to me) sounded a bit... I don't know - inappropriate, maybe, in concert. At the last show I was at, when we got to meet Suzanne after the show, I thought about mentioning that but I figured that would be rude. I love the song, and enjoyed her vocals on it that night, but I was thinking - man, I bet they could come up with a arrangement for this song that they could play rather then having this sample thing there. I am so glad to hear they are doing that. I look forward to hearing this arrangement!

Is this song not a seduction? I know it seduced me. There's hella room in those lyrics for double entendre, and the music seems to support it.

"rising possibilities"

nudge, nudge, say no more.

Oh...

I always play 99.9Fdegrees when I have a fever, makes me feel worse.

Spikey

Here's a link to a video clip of Suzanne discussing 99.9 from footage in the upcoming documentary...

Played this song last night in tribute to the chilling New York weather we're having.

Hope Suzanne & Ruby don't live in one of those apartments that's without heat and hot water....

I love this song. I don't play it when I'm sick. I play it when I am uncertain. I hear this as a song about something that might be the first sign of something bad (your car making a noise, your computer making a noise, your lover making a noise) or that might really normal. The point is that you don't know. Happens all of the time.
