Especially since I know it's coming, eventually. I envy you - had to mute it because I ran out of patience. I know it's coming, but in the end is it worth waiting for? Would probably rate higher than a 2 if I could stand the monotony long enough. My loss? |

| socalhol (Seattle) | Posted: May 19, 2010 - 15:53 LOVE this song! Still great after all these years. I know it from the compilation Wall of Sound Presents: Telle Heard it on KEXP radio 9 years ago and picked up the disc back then. Fun compilation. |

| redtex (The Third Coast) | Posted: Nov 11, 2009 - 11:36 Okay, getting very repetitive...you can wrap this up any time now. |

| bseib (40 24' N 86 53' W) | Posted: Dec 30, 2008 - 12:18 The percussion reminds me of RJD2's "A Beautiful Mine", played in the opening credits of AMC's "Mad Men". |

| billbangert (Cincinnati) | Posted: Feb 03, 2008 - 11:21 This run of songs is a good example of why I listen to RP despite Bill's occasional forays into oldies and Motown: 11:15 am - Ralph Myerz & The Jack Herren - Nikita 11:11 am - Radiohead - No Surprises 11:05 am - Azam Ali - Endless Reverie 11:01 am - Dire Straits - The Man's Too Strong 10:58 am - The Greenhornes - There is an End (w/ Holly Golightly) 10:53 am - Dengue Fever - Et Hanopium 10:49 am - Tom Waits - Ol'55 10:44 am - Chet Baker - Tangerine 10:41 am - Carla Bruni - Quelqu'un m'a dit 10:39 am - Josh Ritter - You Don't Make It Easy Babe 10:35 am - Big Head Todd & The Monsters - It's Alright 10:31 am - The High Violets - Love Is Blinding 10:28 am - Black Rebel Motorcycle Club - Not What You Wanted 10:24 am - Spoon - Don't You Evah 10:19 am - Doves - Caught By The River 10:14 am - I Am Kloot - Loch 10:10 am - Vast - Thrown Away 10:05 am - Banco de Gaia - Harvey and the Old Ones (Single Mix) 10:02 am - Nouvelle Vague - Blue Monday 9:59 am - The New Pornographers - Three or Four 9:54 am - The Jesus and Mary Chain - Darklands 9:49 am - Crowded House - Into Temptation 9:45 am - Annie Lennox - Into The West Great great stuff you don't hear anywhere else! |
| dctrpunda (the thin line of here) | Posted: Jan 18, 2008 - 14:20 Good music to do Oxygen to? I feel like I left my body for a second there. |
| bwdulken | Posted: Jan 18, 2008 - 14:17 what a GREAT transition! seamless..nice bill |

| geordiezimmerman (Brighton U.K) | Posted: Nov 01, 2007 - 06:46 Not their best song in my opinion but great live.Seen them twice now but they play a lot in their home country (Norway) and seem to tour here in the Summer. I'l give this one a 6 but the album is an 8. |
| DoctorHooey (/etc) | Posted: Nov 01, 2007 - 06:46 This is a fun song, but every time I hear it I can't help but think of that Simpsons episode where Homer takes the kids to the horror movie that terrorizes them - I think it's called "The Bloodening". With the kids with blue eyes. I guess I should get out more. |
| KermitDfrog (Los Angeles, CA) | Posted: Sep 30, 2007 - 19:51 At first I thought it was repetitive and mildly annoying and was going to give it a "2". But I liked it better when it changed up some with the drums. |
| 2Hawks (Living in Theory -- where everything works) | Posted: Sep 30, 2007 - 19:48 Hey, I LIKE this.  |
| Dave_Mack (My own private underwear) | Posted: Aug 30, 2007 - 09:26 I hate it when she's singing. The rest is OK. I was going to come and give it a 2, but then she stopped, so maybe it isn't so bad. How about 4? Well, no. The rest isn't that special. 3. |

| Chinju | Posted: Jun 12, 2007 - 15:04 Another ultra-smooth segue, from 1 Giant Leap - The Way You Dream to this. Lovely. |

I thought it was quite likeable. Sort of a warm flowing summer current. |

| minimole | Posted: Nov 26, 2006 - 10:57 I'm trying to do some work here. But for the last 30 minutes Bill has been tormenting me, playing stuff which intrigues me to the extent I have to go and look it up on Amazon. And then buy it. I've already loaded up my cart with Porcupine Tree, 1 Giant Leap, Nick Cave and some guy called "Ralph Myerz". And now "Zero 7"! When will it end?! Give us self-employed guys a break, Bill - play some easily ignorable rubbish ... ;-) |
| kazuma (Austin, TX) | Posted: Nov 11, 2006 - 20:29 Another classic RP seamless segue. I have no idea when the previous song ended and this one began. I love it when that happens. |
