Oh, just let the punks become famous and make real good money, and we'll see....

Practically perfect pop.

I wanna be a Dooooggggg...

Haha, wow, reading your comment history is like looking at a transcript of a Statler and Waldorf review. (Except not as funny.)

People can say what they want of course, but this is pretty good songwriting, thanks for posting.

Ibrahim Ferrer—rest in peace—had more soul in his little finger than all the American Idol contestants since the show's beginning—combined.

Sorry, you either love this or you don't. You have to get that side of the stones, it is their spin on country/blues/rock- not mocking and facetious (well maybe a little, but also slightly embarrassed). Listen to the guitar work. This is what evolved into Exile on Main Street, which many, believe to be their greatest album. This is what Keith Richards wanted Honky Tonk woman to be.

I do like his imperfect, androgynous voice...

October 1988...up at my girlfriend's lake home.  Her best friend came up with her boyfriend and we awkwardly shook hands and the girls disappeared into the kitchen to talk.

More awkward silence, then he suggests we grab the boom box and go out onto the dock to check out the full moon.  He pops in Disintegration, we roll one and smoke it, and become best friends for 20 years after. And I go out and buy everything this band ever recorded.

awfull..

What a bizarre album cover.

I also hear "Pictures of Matchstick Men" and "No New Tales to Tell" but I still really like it.  I gave it an 8. 

P. S.  Good segue to "The Magnificent Seven". 

I love this album! The title cut, "Lovin' in the Valley of the Moon," is worth the price of admission. "Hangin' Tree" is pure gravy. Just heard Bill say that Norton passed away. Very, very sad. He was an amazing harp player and all around good guy. Check out his discs with blues guitarist Roy Rogers. Sublime.

Enrique Iglesias? George Michael? I'm all for that!

If we implemented the oft-requested "0" rating, and the Toriphobe chose that rather than 1, then the average would be 5.  Otherwise, 5.5 is indeed correct.

I think the problem is that most of you are from the US, you will just never get Joy Division and New Order, Americans seem to have problems with anything that didn't orginate from the good old USA.  For instance I once met a group of Americans who told me punk started in 1984 in Chicago  LOL! I didn't bother to enlighten them ;)

I also like what the Dead Kennedys did with it.

I am absolutely a Decemberist fan.
For whatever reason, I can't seem to get enough of the whiny/nasally voice, pretentious lyrics, and mysterious accent.

But this one I'm not so sure about. Maybe it's a grower.

This starts off sooooo strong, I always turn it up. Then the singing starts, and I have to turn it down. It's okay, just not as great as the first 12 seconds.

is this song about  ?

Now we get a rude and a reckless
We been seen lookin cool an a speckless
We been drinking brew for breakfast

remember this video? it's a michel gondry - blue man group - WWF mashup http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=og1HAkjOuL0

I had endless shrimp last night, some Cajun, some scampi, some were coconut but none of them knew how to whistle.

It was produced by one from the pink floyd... I don't remember which one...

Two no-class guys complaining about music that's just too good for them. Last time I went to a dinner club they had a "Torch" singer with a voice much like Peyroux. What a great time! Everybody dressed to the nines, fine wine and cigars, ladies dressed to kill, calm, elegant atmosphere. Sorta like old movies of ladies and gentlemen out on the town back in the 30's and 40's when people still know how to dress-up and act refined. I'd love to see Peyroux in person.

Is there anything you DO like?   

one of my favorites cranked up in the car while tooling through the desert.
9.0

  This is pathetic on so many levels.  The lead singer is a talentless waste of life who needs to get a new career, and FAST.

I have to agree...but I used to think that of Bob Dylan too, and I've gained an appreciation, so maybe I'll learn to like Young too??

Guess you know what's up. Unlike Creationists, who believe the world is 5000 years old, you no doubt believe that the world was created in 1982. I bet you believe Chuck Berry is derivative.

One of the best rock song writers of all time? Come on, now...surely you aren't serious. I don't mind the White Stripes, but I just can't understand all of the praise that gets heaped on them at times. Jack White could put out a CD of himself burping the alphabet while playing a harpsichord with his toes and many of the rock critics would deem it the best album of the year.

I'm only 31, but this song still tugs at me.
Plus it has some great lines:
"I have been drunk now for over two weeks,
I passed out and I rallied and I sprung a few leaks"

Adrian Belew:

Oh daddy, when you gonna have that fat cadillac like you always said?
Oh daddy, when you gonna put on some stretch pants, yeah?

Same rhythm. Same tune. Hmm...

I sure wish I could rate this lower than 1...

Wow. Not one negative comment in 3 pages. One guy thinks it's rated too high but likes it still. Another guy barking about the set it's in being played twice. But still, no pukes or 1s... that's universal as it gets!

Now watch someone come slag it.

That voice! Those lyrics! He is among the Legends of music.

echos of the Bunnymen on this one....


(psst...that was a play on words, I know the name of the band so don't bother to correct me cooler-than-thous)

:D

my vote for best police song, except maybe for "so lonley".

Totally.
Playing with the cool spinning album cover through a smoky haze.

Really, really wish I understood the hate for these guys. REM and the Maniacs were probably my two favorite bands of the 80s--really kind of rescued that dreadful decade for me. REM to my mind saved rock music from the dreadful onslaught of the synthesizer and the hair bands.

is it me of there a dogs face on the front cover

hey, that's Iggy Curry!

(the bastard son of Iggy Pop and Tim Curry)

I'm confused why the discriminating listeners at RP love this cheesey, lightweight crap.

A side note for this song...Patty wrote it for her dog.

And people call Tori Amos nuts!

Have been able to see Taj twice in Oz and both times he surprised seduced slip slideded and serenaded the punters beyond belief. 11/10

take pity, if i hear one more woo hoo i'm gonna freak

YES!!!

i never thought this song would come on anywhere other than my own stereo! Possibly my favorite Cure song ever but as it's a b-side to Lovesong i never in my wildest dreams expected to hear this!!

i guess the picture that should go along with this is either the Lovesong single sleeve or the Join the Dots compilation

anyway, thank's for playing this!!!

A solid 3.

My ears are bleeding.

That's like comparing Star Wars (Original Trilogy) to Star Trek -- Just because they are different doesn't mean they both aren't good. Neko's music is like Star Trek II: Wrath of Kahn , it is great, but a little tougher to penetrate than the Cardigans music, which reminds me of Return of the Jedi: kinda cheesy but has a much bigger audience (see: Lovefool, circa 1996). Believe it or not, there are people out there that aren't hipsters with tight jeans and emo haircuts that actually prefer Cardigans to Neko Case. Instead of being bitter, be like me and realize that both artists have something cool to offer. Kind of like Star Wars movies and Star Trek movies.

Go one better. This remains a strong 10!

huh, I just think it gets better each time through. I've bumped it up to an 8 now.

Wow this set SUCKS!!!

Now they are Jefferson Planecrash. Oh, the humanity.

Her voice just grates sometimes.

Our mission in life is to make everything taste like real, delicious bacon

don't make me smack you. because I'll do it.

I sincerely doubt that Bill pays that much attention. But it certainly is an opportunity for us to reflect on our participation here. Maybe more of a Psychic Headsmacking for all of us.

Hey! Bagpipes! How many songs have bagpipes?

The album cover art is worth a 9.

I always turn this song up when it comes on. Totally a "Leaving Las Vegas" (the movie, not the Cheryl Crow tune) feel to it. Dingy, off-centered, urban survivalist. Something about the post-modernist poetry of the lyrics gets under my skin and makes me shiver. I gave it a 9.

(Re-reading that... what the heck is in my coffee, anyway...??)

i still remember his solo on Urgent by Foreigner..that made the whole song.

Morrissey's cover of this song is better!

Anyone else hear BECK in here???

Indeed, My god this is as pukish as it gets. :puke:

what stupid stupid repulsive lyrics

Dylan has to be the most "coverable" artist since so many can sing better than him. So the covers are often good to stellar as the songs are so incredible to begin with. Add a decent voice to a Dylan song and you have some good music.

Volume appropriately cranked.

"The movie was originally written and filmed to a timetable of classic Beatles tunes. Near the end of production, the Beatles own copyright conditions became known – none of their original recordings can be used in movie soundtracks. This led to a hasty three week recording session where an eclectic range of musicians, and over two dozen different engineers and producers, were brought in to record covers of a selection of Beatles classics.
While many may flinch at the thought, the outcome is an interesting collection
of recordings that prove the relevance and quality of the originals."

I think this adds a little background to this collection, and that makes me appreciate it more.

Ah, when we saw Toots & company a couple of months ago and, while performing this very song, he pointed at me and said "And she's got soul", well, I thought "Who am I to argue?"

please make it stop

I WANNA BE SEDATED

For some reason we all ended up here at Radio Paradise- I submit that part of the satisfaction and enjoyment of where we arrived is looking back at where we've been.
It keeps things in perspective and keeps it fun.

It's funny how some of my favorite bands before (and after) I fell in love with Radio Paradise get really bad ratings from a number of users. Must be that I (and Mr. Goldsmith) have really, really good taste.

Most of the music I listen to and own is played hear; Bill and I are approximately the same age(closer than a lot of the gen X know it alls)and quite frankly, if Bill didn't like it, then it probably wouldn't get played in the first place.

To all the R.E.M., Counting Crow haters out there, have a nice day! Bill and I will still be rockin to these great tunes regardless.

Oh, and keep the listener support rollin in.

I do.

With so many GREAT Cure songs, why are we listening to this mediocre one?

This is an interesting cover, but I think I like it better with Neil at the mic.

Q

Hi, I'm the internet...have we met? ;)

Over the Rhine - Fever
Cowboy Junkies - Sweet Jane

the barely awake thing works well for the lou cover. for this, mmm....not so much!

In my imagination, narcoleptic sounds about the right word to describe this cover. The juice of the original is gone in this version.

I'm hearing a lot of FF in a lot of AM.

Are you guys all octogenarians or what? Pork Tornado is positively the BEST band name I have ever heard!

London Calling- the most OVERRATED album of the past thirty years.


Discuss.

How many people here work at desks and listen to RP through computer speakers or headphones? I do. And I wonder how that affects the way I rate songs.

This song, for instance, plays much better in my car with the volume cranked up or at a busy bar. That's how I first heard this song. I love it, so I'm giving it a 9.

But if I were hearing it for the first time right now--on crappy little computer speakers turned way down--I'd give it a 5.

Has anyone but me ever seen The Secret Policeman's Other Ball, where Sting does an amazing and haunting solo acoustic version of this song? It's outstanding. The Ball was probably 20+ years ago, and I had it on videotape. I plugged in a tape recorder and taped that version so I could play it over and over in my car. . . And the Ball is pretty funny, too. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0084648/

Yes, but your time posted says it all !

scarier to think I'm twenty years older!!!
:reallyoldsmileyemoticon:

Fine. Donate and then stop listening.

Wait a minute, you are saying you LIKE this (anything)?

You're very welcome, LaP! I am the guilty uploader...and damn proud of it!

I just bumped this up from 8 to 9. I'd go 10, but I need something to do the next time it comes on!

I don't want to like Beck. I really don't.

But this song is fantastic.

Now yer talkin'!

Real ZZT!!... That Eight & A Half Souvenirs was pretty poor.

Good song. Yet, there are stronger songs on this album.

Musicians....what can I say.....I work with them and carry a .45 just in case.

Sorry, babe! I didn't know this song (or I don't remember it or most likely, it wasn't played in my town). I defy you anytime. I give it a 9

Frente?

This guys plays some great guitar. Saw him first on an episode of "Scrubs" (season 2, episode1 for the Scrubs geeks!). Bought 3 albums on the strength, all great.

Needs more cowbell.

The Cure were never better than their first album, Boys Don't Cry, which this is from. A totally new sound. Find an old copy of the LP with "Object" on it--it's not on the CD for some reason.

This was originally on an album called "Music Keeps Me Together" released in 1975 - very Caribbean-oriented sound throughout the entire disc. I have great memories of it wafting out of the speakers on fine spring days...when I was supposed to be studying...

My upload!
Either version is excellent, and something the average RP listener might enjoy.

If not for Cooder, we'd probably never have heard of Ali Farka Roure. Thanks Ry. Oh and thanks for Buena Vista Social Club, too.

Mahalo, Bill!

A bit of for "Home" all of us wandering Islanders.

By the powers vested in me, I hereby pronounce you an Honorary Hawaiian!

could you do me a favor and trash that cd

Taj Mahal is one of those artists who sounds so much better live. I've seen him several times, and every time, he has induced 'wows', dancing and carrying on.

I've bought a couple of his albums though, and they mostly bore me.

Come on, you're a Scorpio. We should get on real well.

GORGEOUS,GORGEOUS,GORGEOUS......

GD songwriting, Lyle's voice... how can you go wrong?

still, my favorite from this album was always Jane's Addiction's cover of Ripple

There should be a Joe Strummer cocktail: rum, mango, chocolate milk, and ouzo

WROTE it?! I did not know that. I am most familiar with the Nevilles version. A 7.

Thin Lizzy meets Charlie Daniels. good.

Mmmm...Fish Tacos and cold beer.

Cool! Haven't heard this in a looong time. Great song.

...in my pointy toed shoes and long black coat days I lusted after Siouxsie....haha!
S.

This is one of those bands that I thought was okay when I first heard 'em and which I just about can't stomach anymore. So . . . noisy.

lol

No.

Whoever did know what a slide rule was for?

Jimmy Buffett is scary indeed.

Any one know what "Xixizinho" means in Portuguese?

Trust me when I say it's the voice that makes them.

Music has a history of great musicians with bad vocalists. Bob Dylan, Neil Young, Tom Waits (after is 6 millionth cigarette, he used to have a beautiful voice.) Brian Molko's voice grows on you.

Oh no, you haven't known clean freak until you've met my mom. Seriously, I'll call her on Wednesday and she'll be cleaning out the same closet she cleaned out the Wednesday before and the Wednesday before and the (well, you get the picture). She has a standard schedule of things she cleans every single day. Things that I probably haven't cleaned in my house in months.... no lie.

You can LITERALLY eat off her floors.

Don't have much use for a riding vacuum here in this apartment, it's all parque and tile flooring.

The not-so-good at cleaning (and not liking to do it) part was what I was referring to. ;)

I don't visit the Comments much, so I called it the Temp. AU. :shrug:

guzzle its delicious excretions. Woot is a hoot today.

That would be awesome! And when you load up Clay Aiken you can get Sugar-Free Grape Koolaid!

haha...

is it bad to want to be a house husband? I'd much prefer staying home with my kids...

Temporary Alternate Universe (I think)

Bobby Bare, Jr. welcomes us into his home, and THIS is how you treat him?!?


Hey 'kipper.

And Pete, I agree. I think we should each agree to change our rating of this song to an imaginary number.

Snap question! Is enjoyng the ironing a sign of gayness?

I got an 87%. That's a fun website; I'm gonna send the URL to our history/geography teachers- I bet they'll love it.

I think he intended to say "Estonia"...

My uncle (who is Canadian) took my mum (who is English) and her sister (who is Australian) to his place in North Carolina a few years back. They were in a restaraunt and chatting to some locals when this guy said to my Auntie "where are you from" so she said " Australia" he said," how long a drive is that to here?"

True story...

I do think in general Americans are not too well educated geographically though... I remember a study a few years back in which something like 50% of American adults couldn't even identify the United States on a world map.

And some of the well travelled merkins would sound Canadian? Or perhaps you only rember the ones who didn't have a clue...the ones who came in, paid and left didn't stick in the memory?

Baby, don't you worry about that doofus. I think CanuckBeaker should be smacked around like a white house intern. The world is fraught with douchebags who wind up in front of you in traffic or are vomiting up their LAME opinion in a bar when you just want to relax. }}}} CanuckBeaker = GIANT TURD SANDWICH.

Going quite well, thanks. I hope they are for you too.

By the way, for anyone who's interested, Drach is in New Orleans with the RC helping out. He is having a great time working his ass off and really enjoying the energy of all the people helping out down there. Good stuff happening all around.

That is all. (for now)

I'm good at ignoring those exhibiting extreme attention seeking behaviour.

I like yellow cake best. Really moist, buttery yellow cake; with no frosting.

The whole friggin' Net!

Working on the house, Dave. Sounds as if it's gonna go.

Several times I've gone into car dealers and driven out with my new car marveling: Man, they'll sell a car to anybody!

Now, having spoken to the mortgage people, the marveling has changed a bit: Man, they'll sell a HOUSE . . .

That's enough for the AU; what about all the others?

The president of my corporation thinks it's the greatest thing since sliced bread.

I wonder if Bill realizes that as soon as the forums are up and running, the sudden spike in traffic will probably crash the whole site again.....

Oh. Thank you.

This reminds me of the book that made the rounds at my company a few years ago...Who Moved My Cheese

There's a critical mass in the Pacific North West....

Not today, my friend. The Universe is experiencing some, shall we say, grief and frustration. I just might have to smash a couple of planets. Maybe even this one.

Doesn't look like Ry Cooder.....

Who's this guy?

I read here on RP that the reason I've been deprived of the reggie gene is that I've never been to Jamaica. No doubt that's true but, even if I can't stand most SKA, I love Desmond Dekker.

Good, because besides the article, I saw an episode of CSI on it, so I'm almost an expert.

You've got me wondering how much water I drink. On the average day I only drink coffee and water (and far more of the latter than the former!). I should keep track and find out.

What th'?

I got it, but am not sure what file type it is. QuickTime? I tried renaming it .mp3, but Windows Media Player won't play it. :(

The song in question

Only 25 downloads allowed. I added a .pdf extension to the filename. Delete that.

Good luck, let me know if it works.

"From YOUR childhoods!"



You young whippersnapper. Try The Cure or The Clash.

Yeah...I intend to do maths + phsyics at uni. (w00t! gramitical sentence). This leaves a lot of options open (another!). The decision is whether to attempt to up my maths grade up to an A (from a low B), or to put all the effort into the other subjects. Im thinking that I should go for the A in Further Maths, because I would have to do well in three resists to break the single maths to an A...I have writen it all out, and will talk to my maths teachers tomorrow. I'll take the cheque (to pay the resits) too.

Hi + bye for the mo. having a hectic day today...a friends bday, cake in the first lesson, started out all good. Walked down into town, met his gf, who I hadexchanged quite a lit of emails with, played some music, and then it started going downhill. Having photocopied the music, and got 2 forms to fill in, I was given somene else to talk to, and my year head gave me extra paper to deal with. On top of this my maths teacher started talking about the possiblility of resits...then i get home, found the reason i couldn't find sam to give him the music was cos he ad gone home, and start the long conversation with mum, and later with dad, about what resits to do. That over the verdict is this:

I am resitting a physics module, in Janurary. The other modules I do in the summer.

I am probably not resitting any more maths modules. I have done enough modules for an A level in maths. This is the normal workload for a 2 year Maths A level course. I am doing further maths, so I do two A levles - one maths and one further maths...I will not do any resits in maths, where I got a B, and instead concentrate my efforts in getting an A at further maths.


This may not make much sense....please question me on thsi one...need to make sure I have my thoughts set out.

(I would have journalled, but i can't)

Almost all of the "made-up" words in that book are borrowed Russian words.

You know, there must be someone in his entourage doing google searches. Wonder what they'd make of this.

Noted and on the list... It would go good with Mudslides and Apple Cranberry crisp

Have the flames waned?

But then you'd have to ignore me...

Loved the photo from your deck the other day. I must come down and drink beer there sometime! Ha!

Maybe just stop engaging him? Seems to work pretty well with other trolls.

My desk is turned around now so everyone can see what I'm looking at...

Geez, is there room for the politics and mud-slinging in this little broom closet?

We just wanna have a little fun while Bill gets the Forums back up so you guys can have a place to slug it out. Geez!

Obscurred by the intensity of the light in the ring around the moon, the lack of decent filters, the inability of the camera's digital screen to handle so much light, my amateurism and a host of other factors. But, trust me, it was there. The lovely lady in the arc-welder helmet confirmed it for me.

Wasn't Arnie's menu splendiforous?!?

Bump for those that were on the fence, maybe the menu will help you decide to go.

I'm not inflicted with that equipment!

have you read robert anton wilson? he's as close to quantum physics as i get. as intelligent as i know i am (and modest too), that explanation went way over my head. i understood all the words, but the meaning escaped me.

Does anyone remember that thing I did applying quantum to Boosie beeing psycic (fortune teller). i thought of a fun extension:

Let us imagine that Bossie is always right. And we split (harmlessly) her into two - Alex and Boosie. Now if we separate A and B, and get them to make a prediction about and event with two outcomes. If they are both right, and we get them to make the predictions at the same time, then they will each pick a future randomly. for them both to be right, then they must RANDOMLY pick the SAME outcome. This demonstrates quantum entanglement - the idea that if you get two particles that have the same value for a property, and separate them, then measure the value of that property, then each randomly choose the same thing. This is one of my favourite paradoxes.

2300 sf too small? I got 760. 2 kids, 3 cats and a dog. Boo frickin' hoo.

ok, so i'll bite...
what is a fermatron?

...I also think we should all rate this song a 10 even though it hasn't been played...
S.

Thanks, I miss that too. This one isn't as nice a shot, but very dramatic, I took it while I was knocking on doors at 3am evacuating neighbors:

Hey ya'll I was wondering when you guys would do this! I guess we all have been getting more work done!

In financial news, 3rd quarter productivity is expected to reach new lows as the RP forums return to service. Industry leaders express their thanks to Bill for shutting down the forums for the close of business in Q2, and consider a substantial recurring donation if he promises to make it a quarterly event.

I think I would have rather heard Groundskeeper Willy's version.... Not Mr. Nelson's best

Wish I wasn't at work right now...

agreed. Liked it the first 40 times. It's getting a little old

My upload!

When I first discovered RP and the LRC, it became my mission to make sure RP's listeners were aware that my favorite band had a lot more to offer than "In A Big Country".

Now, with the addition of "Chance" and "Over The Border", I hope a few people will be encouraged to check out some of Big Country's back catalogue.

With eight studio albums, countless live albums, and several collections of rarities to choose from, I think I'll be able to find a few more RP-worthy tracks before I'm done.

Buckwheat Zydeco/Beast of Burden into this? Brilliant!

Hmm. It's Cuban music, so while I suppose you can hear it in "downtown Arizona" (whereever that is), I suppose you're more likely to hear it in Miami.

I really want to see him live.

8)

wow, that actually goes to the beat for awhile....

cowbell... mmmmm.....

i absolutely adore the fact that bill continually points out how unimpressed he is by sheryl crow. it makes me laugh every time.

keep it up, i'd love for her to be the running joke.

It's not a religious song -- more a whimsical invention.

The rest of this album (Dog Eared Dream) is absolutely outstanding as well -- not one bad track from start to finish.

Sure, not their best work, but you cannot deny the impact on and relevance of this band to Rock & Roll.

Ahhh, the Clash...
The cover minic a cover by...Elvis (?) Am I right about Elvis? I know it is identical to another album (and yes it was an album when it came out) from someone else.....a little help....someone...

A nice alt vers of this tho the original is the standard.

Yeah, "A little mercy now", and "Crossing muddy waters". Songs for Louisiana today.
:(

Willie has taken a lot of shit just for being who he is in this world. For that, and many other reasons, he's closer to being a true brother of Jimmy's than anyone listening to RP. Willie is an authentic dissident and a damn good singer/songwriter. Don't cut him slack because he is in his seventies - he doesn't need it. He stands on his own against posers of any age. See ya - I'm off to buy the CD.

Sounds like Tone Loc.

Visions of the muppets.

You people just don't get it, do you?

There are twenty years to go.

Seriously. Twenty years... ...that's not that much time... ...get with the program people...

Back when they had great album covers.

Frank Black will never match what he did with the Pixies, but at least he manages to keep it interesting.

Nice segue from Ry Cooder and Manuel Galban's Drume Negrita. Smooth.

is it terrible to say I like the Shatner version more?

Just read through all the other comments on this song and I'm rather surprised at some of the commentary. Yes, Vince Guaraldi did all the Peanuts soundtrack work and yes, I suppose to those jazz aficinados who breathe only the rarest of purified air, there are other "jazz" artists that they'd prefer listening to. If I may add my humble opinion.
As far as the Peanuts stuff goes, I think Guaraldi's music gave Charlie Brown and his friends the character we all know and love. Now, "Cast Your Fate to the Wind" on the other hand, was recordred long before Charlie Brown entered our collective consciousnesses. For me, the is one of the most beautiful melodies ever written. Like the dawn of a new day, it starts so peacefully, evokes the warmth and promise of a sunrise then leads us into the mystery and serendipity of the day ahead. I can't think of a time since this song lurked in my youthful conciousness, that I didn't just stop all I was doing and quietly listen anytime this song would come drifting across the airwaves. I love this song and absolutely love Radio Paradise for the eclectic mix and intelligence!!! Cheers to Bill & Rebecca

What the?? I like this song. Damn, now I'm going to have to re-evaluate my whole
knee-jerk negative reaction to Beck as an over-hyped media darling.

If Stevie Wonder didn't exist, Jamiroquai would have to invent him...

Wow, the Sponge Monkeys have another song out. I think I prefer the Moon Song to this.
