I'm not averse to a bit of Supergrass. I like their second album In It For The Money very much, but this track, while fun, is inessential.

I enjoyed the pop/rock of Supergrass, how they shamelessly borrowed from a long litany of mostly Brit pop icons (Bowie, TRex, Beatles, Dave Clark Five...) to maintain their slightly above the radar status these past 17 years. Never took off in the States but understand they had a much larger following throughout Europe. Musical differences again. How sad.

Well, crap. I find a band that I can give a "9" to, and they split up. RIP, Supergrass. I'll look for you in all your subsequent incarnations, and lament the once-whole.

Agree. I am so grateful to Bill for introducing me to their stellar works. In the top 20, minimum, of new-to-me RP favorites. |

This isn't Squeeze?! I was shocked to see this was Supergrass, not that it's a bad thing!

This post reminds me of an actual comment from a math challenged individual that I worked with briefly. When told of the sale price of certain product he said, and I quote, "If that's half price I'd hate to know the full price!"  |

My three year old daughter loves to dance to this one. She's got a friend with a trampoline and last winter we went out to check out mars most every night. She dances around the living room, with her elbows bent 90-degress, crankin' them in and out, then pipes in with "save your money for the children..." then I go "ooohh grace," then she goes "save your money..." Priceless. |

Wonderful image - thanks for sharing. Is your daughter's name Grace by chance?
That would be perfect, KALINEVE. Alas, my daughter's name is Claire. However, she turned 8 last week—and still digs her some Supergrass. I throw it on later-day mixes, just for good measure! |
