This doesn't have that weird smell that you encounter around high voltage equipment when there are too many electrons in the air.
It actually sounds like a song instead of something that springs out of a can and assaults your ears.
edit-oops,he had to throw the crap in during the ending

How one can listen to this and derive that conclusion is a mystery to me. Beck somehow incorporates myriad influences and distill something new from the volatile mix. Who can complain about that, especially when the musicianship is so consistently good? |

Never noticed how much the first couple chords sound like Wild Horses by the Stones... actually thought it was a cover because the original played in the last hr....

How disappointing! Don't be angry- yes Cave is superb, but relax, chill, and let them do it to you in the eardrums. Something good will come along in a minute... |

You mean entitled - like a fundamentalist islamist? Last time I looked, the USA was not keen on accepting them with open arms. Oh and while I am on it. . . whatever happened to the saying 'land of the free?' I don't seem to hear it now. |

This was my sons lullaby for a spell when he was around 8 years old. Still takes me back to lying there with him dozing away.

Put your hands on the wheel
Let the golden age begin
Let the window down
Feel the moonlight on your skin
Let the desert wind
Cool your aching head
Let the weight of the world
Drift away instead

Hmm. Played this one a little close to Wild Horses, Bill. Coincidence? I think not.  |

Beautiful, sad song. Like Elliott Smith's Basement on a Hill, Sea Change is so depressing, that it's difficult to listen to. But they are both amazing, heartfelt albums.

Stingray!
The man's intitled to his religious beliefs. That's what America is all about! And this in an American radio station. Either accept that or go somewhere else.

ALWAYS a good time to hear this number...the atmosphere on this record captures a definite Spacey Blues vibe that I really really like...
