9 for the nostalgia.
Thanks for playing "classic" Guster. It's been awhile since I've heard some on RP.

Reminds me that mrstuba and I have tickets to see the Cheiftans on our anniversary this fall, sitting in the second section, stage center of the mezzanine so we can see all of the instruments  |

wouldn't a typewriter damage the drum heads? |

Just saw them in Orlando (missed the Portland show). A great show!!! See them if you get the chance.

After I turned her on to the Floyd ( Atom Heart Mother) at the tender age of 8 or so, it was my daughter who kept me up-to-speed on things I might like through her teenage and college years. Since she turned me on to (the original) Napster and MP3 collecting ten years ago, the table is once again turned. |

Gotta be one of the best pop bands ever. Good lyrics, melodies, harmonies, hooks, they have it all. I generally do not like pop music, but love these guys.

Probably have listened to this 1/2 dozen times (at least) on RP.
I like it. Sounds like somebody listened to the Who.
