I'm chair-dancing again. About as 10 as it gets!

All you haters.....do two quick shots of Jack Daniels, (or other substance of choice) put on headphones, and you will love this song.
Why not try it, eh?

I would agree with that - and, although I don't normally comment on others taste in music, etc, I'd also say that the people who don't get this song are missing out, big time. The Three EPs CD, which this track if from, is a great listen overall, but this particular track is a solid 10. What is more amazing is that, personally, I don't find it rips anything off - even if other people can hear other artists/songs, I think it is really their unique sound. |

I wonder if they later became the VHS Band?  |

Anyone else think this sounds like early Pink Floyd? Not bad.

I think in the movie the line goes "watch, I am going to sell 5 copies of the Beta Band" as he spins their album. I am wondering if that was the only 5 copies ever sold by this band...Well, I bought this CD. They opened for Radiohead on the Kid A tour. A forgettable band. I like this tune though. |

One of my favourite songs ever. The way it builds towards the end is superb, reminds me of good times when first released.

I have an album by Beta Band that I consider a real work of art. I LOVE the easy swagger, general lazy, yet hip feel & sort of techno-tweaked feel of this band. I think it's a perfect hybrid type of sound. The voice is reminiscent of Beck, yes, but I don't confuse them because of a different tonal quality. I really like this band a lot.

Great movie, good book, the soundtrack works well in the film but I find I don't have much interest in listening to it on it's own. This tune is decent, though.

Overall sounds like Beck. The guitar at the end is very similar to Keith Richards. Nice combination to make an Okay sound/song. |

...i had the pleasure of watching the beta band's number-one-fan perform some sort of fantastically-enthusiastic interpretive dance as they opened before a radiohead show in palo alto, back in 2001...

How long has it been? This is one of the golden nuggets that half way through you realize with a pleasant surprise you aren't listening to your ipod.
