There with ya, Laz. A wise rabbit once told me, "If you can't give it a 10 then don't give it nuthin' at all" or something like that. Done a few either way but lean toward only rating something I like a lot, but staying away from it in general. If I like it, why put a number on it?

Try Bill Morrissey crossed with the lead singer of Crash Test Dummies.

Good, evocative song. Thoughtful, wistful, but not downbeat. Play it again, Bill.

Amazing. I live 90 miles from Manchester and this band is virtually invisible on the UK airwaves. Thanks yet again Bill / Rebecca for being first to another band to my attention. We eventually 'got' Gotye over here too. And if I hear another so called Brit music lover ask me who Porcupine Tree are I'll spit.

Call Fred, you and he have much in common.

Definitely a bit of Lloyd Cole in this track.

Replacing Said the mouth with the buck spells with Said the man with the book of spells makes a lot more sense.

Sounds more like Bill Morrissey to me, only at half-speed. And that is saying something.
