Not necessarily, though Dick Dale is known for his use of a Fender Stratocaster. It seems like it's more of the high-treble (single-coil) attack of guitars such as Mosrites, Silvertones, and Danelectros, as well as the numerous Fender models, with the reverb being set very deep. |

Just one of many RP greatest hits; never tire of hearing it. 10+
...and followed by Morphine - it gets better than this?

Oooh new one on me. Lovin it except the odd backing vocal from Stephen Hawking.
Then i look down and see i commented once before so maybe just didn't have a lasting impact. Its hard with all the great stuff you hear on RP.

For some reason my brain had me convinced that they were singing about Jackie Chan. Sometime I wish I had been born clever instead of good looking.

Providing hope for music fans across the globe that there are countless magnificent musicians creating sound as good if not FAR better than any of the prominent commercial superstars that smother the airwaves and clutter the shops.
I agree with your praise of RP, but feel I should point out that Hooverphonic ( website) are pretty damn big in the Benelux countries in Europe and tour extensively, and their music has been used on film soundtracks. Living in the UK I'd not heard of them prior to RP, for which much thanks as usual to Becky and Bill, but they are hot stuff in Belgium. Not that it takes a lot to be hot in Belgium... ;-) This song spun off a 'concept album' called "Hooverphonice presents Jackie Cane" which isn't bad, but stretches the material a bit thin IMO. Worth having in the collection, though. A solid 8 from the Nottingham jury. |

Hooverphonic always seems to impress me. Not their best song but still better than most bands.

Great job pairing good vocals with sub-par music.

Darn you Radio Paradise. My music wish list at Amazon just got longer. I'm going to need a second job just to keep up.  |

Probably one of my least favorite songs from one of my favorite bands.
