Mashup is better than either song on its own. Thanks.

The chord sequence is identical.  Someone created a mashup of these two on YouTube

To rdo and Poacher - shame on you. RadioParadise is just that - paradise.  People are free to speak their minds, regardless of what they say.  If you don't like a comment, skip over it. As I shall do with yours, now.

It's all good!

RP introduced me to this artist and this song.  Subsequently, I bought the CD and the iTunes video.  Thanks, Bill and Rebecca!  (And Natasha Kahn, you're great!)

Give it a rest, please, boys - your genteel flame war is bumping other comments off the board.

I listened to this album in its entirety on a car journey recently, and it's plainly a 'concept album' telling a story as the songs are definitely linked, but I couldn't figure out what the story is. Anybody here know?

I'm certainly not going to imply that I have tastes so much more advanced than RP listeners at large, but I do understand what sirdroseph is talking about.  As much as I love RP, there is a lot of stuff that I like that wouldn't make the playlist (such as my recent uploads that were shot down) due to either being too odd, too weird, or too unappealing to the majority of the RP listeners.  RP isn't conservative or stodgy  in any sense and I hear a greater variety of music here than I have ever heard anywhere else, but they don't provide the cutting edge indie music that I like.  That's ok, I still listen to RP more than any other kind of radio by far.

The way I see it, RP is a large part of my musical life, but when I have a itch RP doesn't scratch, I know where to go.

Wierd, I was just looking for a B4L music video to watch. love this band !

Egads Bill! Looks like it's time for you and Rebecca to clear out your desks and make way for the, obviously superior, musical mind of sirdroseph. I've enjoyed your programming but, apparently, the new music you are giving us is just not very advanced. (who knew?)   And please remove this song from the playlist, sirdroseph says it sucks, therefore, it can't be any good. I do enjoy your station breaks and I hope sirdroseph keeps you both on as RP employees.

Best Wishes,
PJB

I can only speak for myself and this may be a genuine trend you have found, but in my case you are DEAD wrong. I keep up with new music far ahead of just this contemporary adult radio station, I just happen not to like a lot of the newer bands that RP likes to play. I love a lot of new music that is probably considered too avant garde and strange to play on this somewhat conservative albeit very good radio station.  It is doubtful that most of the listeners here have even heard of most of the new music that I listen to so don't try to pigeonhole me into an antiquated Classic rock listening old fogey, this could not be more offbase!

I couldn't have said it better myself!
As I discovered many oldies goldies while listening to RP, I couldn't help notice how some new artists are disregarded, it seems, just because they're new.
Then again some things are a matter of taste, like me never being able to cope with Neil Young's voice or the Talking Heads

Glad to hear you can clue us all into the Deal, and glad your into so much music. But this song is a lot of things, but Sucks?  no

Look, here is the deal. I love Bluegrass, Americana, Hip-Hop, Jazz from Dixieland to Beebop to modern, the Blues from Bessie Smith to Taj Mahal, Electronica, Indie Rock and Folk and yes, Classic rock, but this song sucks regardless of what I like. Clear enough for ya?

Hey, that's pretty frackin cool that she's acknowledged the influence by doing a cover that gets the influencee a cut of the royalties!  I wanna hear it!
