Maybe she's the best chess player in the group taking a break to bone up on her openings and to let the boys have a go, and if I'm right about what I can see on the board they're making a pig's ear out of it. Is that a white pawn and knight on the 7th rank, the knight en prise? |
| Stingray (EUROPE) | Posted: May 20, 2010 - 13:20 As boring as it must be to spend time with the college kids on the cover! BOOORING! ENDLESSLY! |
| FARO_ACUSTICO | Posted: Apr 18, 2010 - 19:01 Aquí hay otra persona que escucha esta estación tan fregona... Saludos |
| 93vx800 (Red Sox Nation) | Posted: Dec 13, 2009 - 18:44 I'm liking it. I've been away from RP for a long time. Nice to be back for a few hours! |
| newwavegurly | Posted: Nov 12, 2009 - 09:01 Having now heard this several times, I still think the same thing: the vocals sound a lot like Robert Palmer earlier in his career—before he smoked more cigarettes to get his voice raspier (something I heard in an interview with him once). |
| fredriley (Nottingham, UK) | Posted: Nov 12, 2009 - 08:57 With singing like that they could just about be the Kings of the Conveniences. I'll get me coat... |
| iscoot4peace | Posted: Sep 10, 2009 - 08:18 This makes an old curmudgeon very happy. I better not listen too much. |

| backasjac | Posted: Dec 31, 2008 - 09:01 Misread and Homesick are better songs off this album but i do really like these guys. |
| jakewhite77 (Los Angeles) | Posted: Nov 25, 2008 - 13:22 Nice call Bill. How about some "Whitest Boy Alive" too?!? |

| hippiechick (Weekendland) | Posted: Sep 23, 2008 - 08:28 I believe it's time for a new album from this group! |
| teapot (in orbit) | Posted: Apr 18, 2008 - 17:06 Always loved these guys, especially because they were responsible for me finding Feist! |

| cousinhub (Uccle (Belgium)) | Posted: Mar 02, 2008 - 09:26 nice and simple good for a sunday evening . |
| gutboy (new england) | Posted: Feb 19, 2008 - 20:36 love them guitar chops. a very pleasant canvas for this bit of drivel, and i mean that in a good way |
| teapot | Posted: Sep 11, 2007 - 15:38 Love this album. It's how I found Feist. |
| kaz (US) | Posted: Aug 26, 2007 - 22:19 Reminds me of (late-80s to early 90s) China Crisis, but not as complex. I see that RP only has one China Crisis track in play - (click here) - but it's a poor track. Perhaps they will play some of their better tracks someday. Several exceptional albums, my favorite is Flaunt The Imperfection. |
| kcar | Posted: Aug 26, 2007 - 22:17 Are you sure this isn't Flight of the Conchords? |

he's right. I should know! I'm the chick.  |
| guitar_man_101 (Winnipeg Manitoba Canada) | Posted: Jul 26, 2007 - 11:20 I agree with most ppl that it isn't very interesting and it drags on. There are many parts that I hear where some additions would make it sound primo. But i gotta say, these guys know how to groove. |

That's what I used to think but every time I hear it I bump it up more. I'm now up to 8. |
| Dominados | Posted: Jun 09, 2007 - 08:13 its even boring, dont play it again :P |
| Dominados | Posted: Jun 09, 2007 - 08:12 nothing special, 3 will be my rate for that. |

| ulibcn (Barcelona Spain) | Posted: Mar 09, 2007 - 10:10 boring it's simple but with no charm of it |

Pffffffffffffffffft..... It may happen all the time (as the next person said), but I think she would definitely be interested in the other hottie playing chess...damn. |

| davyjrshort (Land of Oz currently) | Posted: Feb 19, 2007 - 11:44 Maybe "Hate is no Small Lie" should be the lesson from the song? hmm... |
| Frater_Kork (Uppsala, Sweden) | Posted: Feb 06, 2007 - 08:53 This kind of reminds me of the Japanese band Cornelius. Like it. =) |
| algrif (Slightly west of Zero) | Posted: Feb 04, 2007 - 07:02 E5 - F7 Mate!! That was certainly more interesting than the 'song' |

Hey hey hey! Let's keep it clean - stop staring at the cover art. What's that you're holding? |

Where you think and where they're from are two separate ideas and should be two separate sentences, don't you think? Least that's what my English teachers always taught me.  |
