Phat!

And I uploaded this song. {#Mrgreen}
 

Kurt:  Thanks!   

What I love about 'rock' is that as I get older (born 1956) the rock music and the radio stations—at least this one—get better!

Judy doesn't sound just way bright.  Nice rock background, but the lyrics...

I guess I'm bona fide OLD too. (1956)  I had heard of Catherine Wheel but very little of the band's music until RP.  Same with Camel.  Come to think of it, my early exposure to Lou Reed was limited but that has been fixed, in part thanks, again, to RP.

This is not Catherine Wheel's best tune by any means, but it's good to hear any CW on RP.  They are one of the most criminally overlooked bands of the '90s.  If you want to be blown away by an album, give "Adam and Eve" a chance.  It has some good, solid rock tunes but also a lot of more atmospheric pieces.  If you know who Tim Friese-Greene and Bob Ezrin are and you like their sound, "Adam and Eve" is for you.

 
+1 on everything you said, especially about Adam and Eve - great, overlooked album.

Upping this from 8 to 9.

I seem to have a tendency to up things each time I hear them just because it's a song from one of my favourite bands. Oh well...

My crank days are far behind (fortunately), but I LOVE that song. The layers, reverb, etc. are so absorbing. When I'm driving home at 11pm from a 15-hour workday, it just puts me in a great zone, making me wish the song lasted an hour. How about more CW, Bill?

Karl: You may never see this but, for the record, I used my earlier note about not knowing the lyrics for "Little Muscle" as a prompt to finally check after 13 years of not getting around to it. Turns out that I must have been spectacularly UNobservant to not have always know that the song was about the tongue and not that other fleshy structural feature males are noted for frequently misusing.

Yep, they're a 90's band. I stumbled on them first around 96 listening to a college radio station - probably about the time (or not terribly long after) this album, Happy Days, came out. I really only knew one song, "Little Muscle" (which I at first thought was referring to a penis but later came to believe really was applied to the tongue - never have studied a lyric sheet to be sure, either way), which I thought rocked magnificently. Bought the CD but didn't like anything else as much. Fast forward to 2004, I'm in Jittery Joe's coffee shop in Athens, GA and one of the employees was playing "Chrome", a later CD, over the coffeehouse system. Loved it, bought it, and then "Ferment" shortly after, both of which are still a soundtrack for that year (a difficult one) for me. Both of those actually pre-date Happy Days. I think of them in the same general category as the band, Ride, although I imagine most would say they are less of a 'shoegazing' band than Ride.

Thanks for playing an old favorite. A then relatively unknown Catherine Wheel was included on my playlist when I was a DJ at an underground radio station in Los Angeles, CA back in the early 1990's.

one of my favorite 90's bands ever since I saw them open for the Cowboy Junkies in Albany NY. They absolutely blew me away and I've been a fan for over 12 years. Rob and Tanya sound great on this one.
