I came into my musical state of being during the early 60s.

I love this. I feel 5 or 6 years old again.

They've caught the mood, the instrumentation, the production, everything.

Bold Street? Clicking clacking of girl's high ideals. Whiff of cheap perfume. Neon signs reflected in puddles. Lads behaving badly. Clubs heaving with sardine squashed people. Beer spilled as it is passed over head. Cigarette smoke so thick that the coloured lights seems to have to carve their way through. Greased back hair. Laughter at the impending menace. Escape to the comforting embrace of the velvet night and its forgiving shadows.

This song reminds me of Kicks by Paul Revere and the Raiders, its all in that retro guitar sound.

I was going to say it sounds dated... ah it's about 2 years old.

Trippy.

I love this song, but I only know it from the Broken Flowers soundtrack. How is the rest of the Greenhornes' stuff? I'm assuming Holly Golightly doesn't sing for them regularly.

Trippin!

Yes, drummer Patrick Keeler joined the Raconteurs, as did their bass guitarist Jack Lawrence. They are both in the Raconteurs.

Reminds me of the Zombies. I like.

Holly Golightly and the Greenhornes...how can you possibly go wrong?

damn nice

Damn, I missed this one.

I'm there, except she has a flip, like Jackie O. And a lot of eyeliner...

This gives me Liverpool foggy night vibes, ducking into clubs. Vocalist with a beehive and a marcelled curl over her eye with those awful white go-go boots, band looking 14 and all in black suits with no collars.
So 60's.
I like it.

But Holly Golightly is a very cool vocalist - thanks for the tip. I searched Amazon.com and DID find a lot of stuff by her. (It took me a while to find an album that had music previews though.)

I listened to Holly's examples and can't say I am into her solo work. She should work with Zero 7 on an electronica album. She would really rock as a singer in that genre! (Going by her guest appearance on this album.)

Pretty sure the drummer from the Greenhornes is in the Racontours (sp?)... which explains the White Stripes connection...

...Which also explains the Holly Golightly conenction...

Those of you who like the 60's feel, the ol' Rickenbacker sound... and the rawness... would do well by picking up both Greenhornes AND Holly's own solo stuff (which there is a ton of).

Good old rock and roll... still lives.

I dig what they do

Vocals = Dusty Springfield + Neko Case...?

Heard the song in Jim Jarmush film Broken Flowers, great tune.

Yeah, like the song, and dig this flick-frame from TBL!

I thought maybe this seriously WAS out of the 60's. But then I read the album info and it says 2005. Wow.

Flash back 60's......I like the rawness of it.

I saw them opening the white stripes concert here in italy, never heard them before and liked them since then...

Ditto across the board.

I bet Quentin T. would've used this for one of his flicks, too.
