I've always been a fan of "Cracker"...actually bumped into them when I lived in Santa Cruz, CA - nice group of people. Got good vibes. :-)

The transition from R&G's Stairway to Heaven to this was a little jarring.

David Lowery is a genius. A great songwriter and brilliant frontman. To quote Office Space, I celebrate the guy's entire catalog.

I like this. Might have to hear it a couple hundred times to either hate it or love it, but for now, I like it.  |

Good afternoon my Swedish friend, yes they are a fine band and have some very sweet songs. I also love Opeth from your country! |

Most underrated band ever.
Wheather your buzzed, sober, or just kicked back with some wine they got some great music.

Totally agree, and came here to say the same thing. How 'bout it, Bill - "Heaven Knows I'm Miserable Now"? "Why do I smile at people who I'd much rather kick in the eye" - a Moz classic! |

Wrong. Wrong. Wrong. They have done some great work since Kerosene Hat. Pick up some of their later recordings. Good stuff. And one of the best live bands you'll ever see. |

I'm hearing a wee bit of Velvet Underground / Lou Reed-ish vocals....just a bit. |

Dang...thought this was Stephen Malkmus/ Pavement there for a sec...
I thought I knew Cracker fairly well...and have got way well into Kerosene Hat for years and years...but had never heard this until now.
Thanks a mil Bill for slappin' it on! Nice set, and I really dug this bit particularly well coming as it did after that righteously cool and bitchin' Pixies number!

Very, very good band...I disagree, I think Cake sounds more like them.

I disagree. These guys have a lot of creativity, always had, even as Camper Van Beethovan,way back when. I really like this song, but then again, that's just my opinion. (pimp) |
