I've got a couple of Guster albums and listen to RP frequently. I can't remeber ever hearing this song played on RP until today. Hmmmmm, maybe too much of a good thing is bad for you. Thank goodness RP gives us just the right dose most all the time.

This is only the second time I've heard it in some five years of listening. Maybe I listen at the wrong times...

From a "3" on originally hearing it, to a "5" today. I like Guster. This song isn't their finest effort though.

Have tickets to see Guster in Boise on Sunday January 16.  Will be introducing friends to Guster.  Should be a great concert.

Caught them live at Farm Aid a few years ago. Most enjoyable.

Got this CD for Christmas! It's been on my wish list for quite a while, and I'm not disapointed.

They have only 3 earlier CDs, and the first one is not remotely interesting, although the next two are fabulous. This is the only one so far after those 3. (Working on a new one now, though.) And in my opinion, I think Radiohead would be one of the last bands I'd compare them to. Maybe that's just me.

When I was still fairly new to "Satellite," I heard it being played in Cheddar's Casual Cafe... it took me a second to come to grips with hearing RP music there!
