These are my picks, in order.
1. "Trailer Park"
2. "Superpinkymandy"
3. "Daybreak"
4. "Best Bit EP"
5. "Central Reservation"
6. "Concrete Sky EP"
Wow, that was hard to do. Get them all. (superpinkymandy is out of print/Japanese only import, but you may be able to "find" some tracks out there...) |

That's the first thing that I thought of. I had never heard this song before but the back-ground is definitely "Walk on the Wild Side" |

After a crappy, stressful day so far, this is exactly what I needed. Thanks again Bill. (of course, I could do that every time you play this :)

This song was enough to put Daybreaker on my amazon wish list. My birthday was this month and I was pleasantly surprised to find the cd in a birthday package from my mother. The rest of the album is just as good.

"Seems like Beth Orton is the Queen of Radio Paradise...I hear her so much on here...Not that that is a bad thing..."
Yeah, I agree, except maybe it's not a great thing either. I mean, we all love her, but when I listen to R.P. all the time, I get really od'd on Beth.

Very cool song, whatever the heck she's singing
FYI
Here are some of the lyrics right off of her web site:
So long, bye my friend so long
So long will it ever happen again.
You know that I've been waiting f or you
I've been created for you, so long
You know the light ain't fading from you
nothing could save me from you, so long.
