That was actually annoying, as in change the channel. My visual of it is pink cotton candy layered with thin white sugar frosting with a side of jelly bean shells...

Very original? oh yes.


You mean Eric Carmen...


All-by-MY-Self.... I wanna be, ALL BY MY-SELF!!!

The Powerpuff girls are singing now instead of fighting Mojo Jojo? I liked them better when they were fighting crime.

Múm! I can't believe it! They really are phenomenal -- rather Sigur Ros-like but more electronic. Múm is some of the best chill out music out there today, totally incredible. This is actually one of few songs of theirs with lyrics, 90% is instrumental. Also, this definitely isn't one of their better songs. Wow, I'm still gobsmacked to hear them on RP. More Múm, less Peter Gabriel! :D/


I like 'em too. This genre always sounds nice on RP.

Speaking of which, BOC would be great to hear, eh?

Nice helium voice. Sounds pretty asian. Kinda neat. It would drive me nuts if I heard it too much but right now I think I might like it. Wait. No. Wait. Not sure

Oh, dear. I hope that is a child singing and not an adult, And even if it's a child, singing... no no no. Please no.

Err, well, I think it's more than cheesy enough. It's a vast ocean of cheese. Unlistenable.

Hmm, interesting... not the greatest, but different. But that's what we appreciate about RP, isn't it? Bill slips in some new sounds and new groups which may not be your particular "taste" -- but you can't expand your musical horizons without a little stretching outside your comfort zone, can you? :D

Unfortunately the vocals spoil it for me. Somehow they remind me of the infantile "Hello Kitty" comics and merchandise of which Japanese schoolgirls are so inexplicably fond. Never was into the "Lolita" thing.

Ah, found some info at sub:strata records' site

"Fat Cat's first release by Icelandic four-piece wonders Mum, a preview single from their highly anticipated second album 'Finally We Are No One'. 'Green Green Grass Of Tunnel' beautifully meshes some dense but intricate programming with gorgeous vocal and instrumental melodies, richly textured, hypnotic and unashamedly sumptuous, this is a stunning, emotive single whose pop surface belies a deep sense of exploration."


Not sure about "unashamedly sumptious" but cool.

It's kinda a 21st century spin on the 1960s style of breathy girl singers...
