Belle & Sebastian didn't make the cut? Those dudes are the epitome of power-lifting whiskey-swilling womanizing meatheads.

The oo-ah at the end is a bit Mungo Jerry. Great rockin' number otherwise, though, from a band not known for its rockiness. 8 from the Nottingham jury.

Sides. That was the song that made me sit up and take notice of Travis. And now, this song. I know they've been around for a long time, but for some reason (oh, geez - could it be that I live in a town where "Billie-Jean" is considered "cutting-edge"?) the only reason I've heard any of their stuff is because of RP.

If I lose my computer, I'll lose this music, and I won't go quietly. I have options. To anyone reading this post - don't take your computers for granted. Save music. Hoard it. Be willing to share it with anyone who wants it, because the time will probably come when computer access will be at a premium (well, it sorta is already.) I'm saving every piece of music I can glom onto, and if the time ever comes when we have to leave our homes and go underground, you can bet your ass I'll have a truckload of batteries, an MP3 player, a good set of headphones, and all the music I can get.

The chorus saves this song from being forgettable. Overall a 6-7 on my scale...

For me the joy of Travis was always Fran Healy's voice over some nice tunes. On this track his voice is nondescript. Anyone could be singing this quite ordinary tune.

Holy crap!  Is your town under imminent siege by militant neo-Luddites or are you just overly fond of dystopian scenarios?  Surely, the community in which you've chosen to live isn't THAT freaky, is it?  I mean, if someone really wants to take my gear, they'll have to pry it from my cold, dead fingers.  But frankly, I'd move the heck out before it came to that.  Not judging, just...sort of...curious...

I thought it was a new U2 tune, but was puzzled that it didn't totally suck, so was surprised that it was someone else.
