YASNS by any other name

I was talking to a friend and somehow social networking services came up and she said her boyfriend referred to them all as “my live tribester space.” I like that sooo much more than YASNS. ::giggle::

    Hi
    I was taking a look at your Ani Difranco’s lyrics webpage and wanted to contact you, but I didn’t see any e-mail address, so here I am. I’m trying to find a song a friend of mine told me about, she only heard it once and thinks it could be a cover of a song by Prince. Do you know anything about it? I’d love to know its title so I can try and get it!
    Thanks
