You mean later Jonathan Richman, right? There was some complexity, and a definite edge, to the early Modern Lovers stuff. JR had a conversion experience later and stopped making songs that "might hurt babies' ears." |

I love the reference to Jonathan Richman, but I disagree because I think that Feist is much more commercial (or accessible) than Jonathan. Jonathan Richman is pretty 'out there', but good on him for doing his own thing. |

It takes guts to perform an unapologetic romantic song these days. This works for me still, after hearing it scores of times.

very much in the groove of songs like "Midnight at the Oasis" or "Chuck E's in Love"
I like it very much :D
