You would be wrong on that count though. {#Snooty}

There are similarities to Mess though, still a great song mind...

Yes though the non-vocal parts are outstanding.  I expect they'll get the vocals worked out before long.

 
I do hope so.

I was just listening to BFF on my morning run and thinking, this would ROCK on RP.

Kingdom of Rust < Mess (Ben Folds Five)

Same song 10 years later.  Seriously - listen to Mess.  Same bass line.  Same western motif.  Same orchestration build.  Same extended notes on the chorus.  Solid song, but if anyone ever had a claim for "subconscious copyright infringement" it would be Mr. Folds.

BTW - This station needs more BFF

For me, it needs a walking base line; other than that I agree with the Calexico parallels - a good thing.

They have an excellent UK concert DVD that you can rent from Netflix. The UI on the disc is funky, so PM me if you have trouble.

BTW, the engineering on the CD is awesome, I think.

A lot of times I'll identify a song by a single bridge or riff.  In this bit, there's a long quiet bridge, and at the end of it the lead guitarist does a full slide (bwwwoawwww) about 2/3rds of the way through - it just puts a wonderful touch on the tone of the piece.  Luvvit!

great direction!   I'm hearing a little more surf guitar Calexico and a little less like an electronic Radiohead sound.  I'm putting it on my buy list.

This is the first time hearing any of their new material.
I've been a fan of their past albums.
This is sounding good to me.

There are a lot of pieces of this that I like, but the tortured vocals just aren't doing it for me, and the more I hear it the more they bug me.  I think I'll average out the good and bad and call it a 6 for now.

Right you are. VERY occasionally we might play a brand new song that we really like two or three days in a row, but that's the limit of "heavy rotation" on RP.
 

Bill,
Thank you for not playing Coldplay as much lately.  We do notice and we do appreciate it.  {#Angel}

Not unusual for a Utard to run down the south.  You just stay out there in the dry heat, will ya?

I don't think I've ever heard a song twice in a day on RP, let alone 5 times, and I listen quite a lot during (UK) daylight hours. I often hear particular artists played many times a day (particularly when I loathe them, like The Who), but not individual songs.

This is a goodie, right enough, unlike some of the other tracks from this disc which have been played which haven't exactly hit the spot.
