Not at all deep. But a wonderful treatment of a common experience: staying home from school sick. P.S. That is Chris Maitland on drums and backup vocals. |

Was just thinking how cool this was and going to check who it was. Just a part of the Porcupine Tree I haven't climbed yet. Another cool song. This band are very cool and go up there for me with Muse in terms of bands I really want to see live that I haven't yet.

I dig PT, but even this is a little too "deep" for me. It's about an ill boy being bored to death in his bedroom and making up things to amuse himself with. Not that deep :-) |

Socially acceptable suicide I guess. Tragic nonetheless. This song is such a wonderful celebration of growing up in a warm, secure household. |

Supergrass followed by PTree - two of the most innovative bands of the millenial age! Word!

I had never heard of i-Audio and looked up the products... Stunning. I'm certainly going to take a closer look at them, I'm getting pretty fed up with Jobs tyrannical control over content and apps. Thanks, I love all the little tidbits of info from RP listeners I pickup. |

Canlistener wrote:The whole first disc of 'The Incident' is one song flowing into the next for a reason. It makes listening to a single track on an ipod set to shuffle somewhat unappealing as the PT song ending is cut off with out the usual digitally enhanced smoothness. This was Wilson's little shot at mp3 players.
He hates the fact that music has been reduced from creating an 'album' that has a feel and a journey, to a 'hit single' with a bunch of garbage to be discarded or simply not downloaded. Yes I own an ipod, but am old enough and have the attention span to keep it off shuffle and enjoy albums as they were meant. Plus it helps me ignore the The Doobie Brothers blaring in the supermarket!
