Hello, reader. Do you have a moment to talk about the good news of the letter “E”? Though you may deny its power, the letter “E” is all around us. Indeed, without the letter “E” many sntncs would appar just lik this vry on. The letter “E” cares not if you accept it today or in 20 years — its love abides. Its love carries on through the ages, bolstering Scrabble scores and feeding beef and cheese to those in need with nary a skimp or a limit. Many have already heard the good news and taken it to heart, but there are still those whose hearts remain stony.
For those who have turned their backs on the almighty “E”, there remains one group of evangelists whose reach extends even to the darkest of places. That group is Thee Oh Sees, boasting a name that is 40% “E”! Thee Oh Sees bring the good news to the downtrodden, the lonely, and to those who are on the market for a vowel. Earlier this year, they released Floating Coffin (Tee Em Tee Review), an album whose title, bereft of the powerful “E”, illustrates how we are but husks, coffins inexplicably floating, outside the brilliance of the “E”. This fall, Thee Oh Sees will travel the nation in search of more converts. And praise! praise! Even more dates are to be announced soon! Truly we must give thanks to our most frequently used and powerful letter, “E”!
