I'm listening to a live recording of this song right now. I thought I'd check out Radio Paradise, and I see it was played earlier today. Very nice. Thank you RP. Glad to good to know it's being played. BTW, I saw Rusted Root do a free show at the University of Minnesota in 2007. Assembly of Dust opened for them. Check out Rusted Root's new album, The Movement.

I saw these guys at warp tour when they were a little side stage show. The Allman Brothers were headlining and Dickie Betts got on stage with them.

Can't be bothered to check, but is this David Byrne?  Sure sounds like him.

First time that I listen to them and I like them a lot, but I can't avoid to think about Talking Heads

The similarity between Rusted Root and Poi Dog Pondering is something to consider.  For people who lived the 90s in Chi-town.  PDP was a local mainstay.

Please, Bill, tell me this is tune is just one of your head games so I can sleep better tonight.  It's actually just a bunch of your buds having a hoot at our expense, right?  Bill?

Perhaps they should have named this methamphetamine, or at least caffeine, instead.

Nah, both music and vocals sound much, much more like Luka Bloom than like DB.

I think he is confused with the meanings of the average and the median of the distribution.

I love to hear their "Drum Trip" (which precedes it on the album) along with this {#Drummer}... they work so well together

I like this a lot, too, but RR's list of good songs is MUCH shorter than TH's.

(BTW, even though it looks like the rating should be more like 7.5 vs. 6.5, it's because the low ratings are further away from the "mode" than the high ratings are — in other words, it's easier to drag down a high score than it is to improve it; if there were 11s, 12s, 13s, etc. to rate, they could offset the low ratings — but there aren't.)

Yup, this is like Talking Heads, but not 100th as irritating. Nice percussion work. 7 from the Nottingham jury.

Hey Bill,

Just did a quick look at the votes for this:
1  =  24
2  =  28
3  =  32
4  =  22
5  =  37
6  =  66
7  =  128
8  =  142
9  =  73
10 = 21

Giving 209 1-6 votes and 364 7—10 votes. Or, in other words, 64% of the votes are 7 or above, while 36% are 6 or less.

So how in the world is the average vote 6.5?  Do we need a Minnesota recount or two?  {#Naughty}

Yea, you got it, I'm bored  {#Confused}

I get a kick that this band, with the sole exception of the bass guitar, is otherwise acoustic. Some feat. Amazing energy.

I remember seeing these guys open for the Allman Bros at red rocks years ago... Not expecting a thing (especially after seeing the spin doctors flop the year before). Anyway, rusted root came out and floored everyone. They didnt do much since then but I will always love them for that set.
