..has some Stranglers similarities..the offbeat syncopation (or whatever you'd call it) smacks of [i]Golden Brown[/i], no?..(sorry if previously mentioned..didnt read thru all).. |

Must have heard this song played at least a dozen times prior, and without incident. For some reason this morning I find it particularly indigestible.

Stephen Merchant was also part of it. Ahhh... the glorious days of Xfm! To me it went downhill when Lauren Laverne left her breakfast slot years ago. Greetings from London. |

Didn't know anyone even knew of this album, and one of the best songs on it... thanks Bill and Rebecca! Hadn't come across it on RP yet, nice to hear, hope to hear some of the others from it as well.

Sorry, but no. Not even a little. Like this, and like lots of Quicksilver ... but I think they're aimed at very different listeners. |

The standout track from his first album (for me anyway). I loved it when it came out. . . love it now. . . it still tingles my lugholes and thus can only be a rare 10.

Reminds me of Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid. There was a song playing during the scenes of them robbing all the banks while in Bolivia that had a very similiar vibe.
