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? |

| Hungover variation on "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas"....But shambly fun. |
| Good, evocative song. Thoughtful, wistful, but not downbeat. Play it again, Bill. |

| I hear Willy Nelson mated with Johnny Cash. |
| Sounds like Herle Maggard meets Badly Drawn Boy... |

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. |

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