i love gomez. this isn't my fav of theirs, or even off this cd...but they are awesome.

A year later, the bands have changed, but you have a point. Now it is the Decemberists, Arcade Fire, Peter Gabriel and the like. But......if Bill likes em, then he is gonna play em. After all, above all, it is his station, not ours.

Yeah, know what you mean. I love RP, but some songs/artists seem to be played way too much (Gomez, Coldplay, U2, Neko Case...). It seems like the music's aimed more at the 'every now and then' listeners as opposed to someone like me who listens at work every day...

I never used to notice this much repetition (been listening for years), it seems like a fairly recent thing..?

Don't get me wrong - RP is still the best thing out there by a looooooong way. I even managed to convince my boss to let me hook up some speakers so the whole room can enjoy :)

Hair-Cream Driver

FYI, this has never been played more than once per day & was only played 2 days in a row when it was brand new (< 1 mo. old).

Until gas prices started to spike, sales of the gas guzzlers were high. People wanted the big SUVs and half-tons. Even now sales of half-ton trucks are strong. I agree that the companies were very happy to sell the big vehicles to people because they made a bigger profit on them. In addition they did fight tooth and nail against higher emission and gas millage standards, so they certainly have to shoulder some of the blame, but lets not forget that most consumers weren't marching in the street demanding better gas mileage and smaller vehicles.

friends don't let friends drive Prius's.

I've heard this song a lot on RP and only today did I look at this page.

All this time, I thought they were singing "ice cream driver".

It would get better mileage without all the stickers.
And what about all the oil products used to make those stickers?
Or the wasted backing material from those stickers clogging our waterways and landfills?

Left-wing driver?

I have no doubt that today our own U.S. auto labor workforce would also agree that this vehicle, built completely by foreign labor, by one of the largest foreign automotive "huge corporations" and transported halfway across the globe by boat is a very progressive and people-oriented statement.

Kind of like the people-oriented decision-making that the big three execs made when they decided to market gas-guzzling giant SUVs instead of building practical and reliable cars that people would want? The auto worker unions that worked hand-in-glove with those same executives to lobby against an increase in CAFE standards? Oh, it is the leftie progressives' fault for not wanting to pay $60k+ for an ungainly truck that gets 4 mpg to "support the Amer-cun werker..."

OMG! AGAIN?!! Seriously?! C'mon Bill this song is ok once or twice but JEEEZ! Not 3 times a day! Why not rotate this album evenly? The other songs on this album arent nearly as lame as this one is. Love, love RP, but this song is totally played out!! (mutes)
