It's amazing to me how many negative comments I see here (in general, mostly). It's RP - home of lots of great stuff, but there's no expectation that it's gotta always be 100%. Get this close to the edge of perfection, there's bound to be some things that don't suit everyone.

But to get pissy about it enough to have to spend time dumping on stuff - I don't understand the motivation. Makes me sad for RP - just can't win for so many of "us".

I'm more than happy to just be able to be somewhere I can enjoy the stream...



It's unfortunate proof there are lots of people in the world who prefer to find fault or consider their opinion to be a hard fact rather than find the good in something or have an open enough mind to get the rest of the world may not agree with their view on something ... or can't just hit the skip button and move on ...

I'd like to reply that some folks just regularly carp about everything generally and I am not one of those....heck I like most of the stuff that Bill picks and some I even love.  I try to provide positive feedback for those.  But damn straight I reserve the right to express my thoughts on tracks that rub me in a sandpaper-y manner...its the fact that they are such outliers and are rather jarring that produce a rather outsized response...not pissy, but just none-the-less...

Oh, and this track is pretty good btw...just sayin'...

Thanks but I'm far from teenage years, and quite practiced at inebriation.  Still looking for Special Brew in the US.

The customary objective of a groove would seem to be to sustain itself, not deviate from it or "go anywhere" else.  I guess it depends on who you ask.

Rule 13:  All musical compositions must go somewhere.

Please note that the rule does not indicate where said composition must go (say, to hell, or perhaps up one's ass) nor how fast said composition must travel (glacially, for example, or at the speed of a PSD click).

That's okay - you have a lyrical way with words, and the smileys only add a visual for emphasis.  BTW, I like this song, too, only today it's clear, cold, and snowy (and my window is frozen shut, darn it.)  Oh well - I have a chicken roasting in the oven, the cats are fed, the house is warm, and at this moment, things are okay, subject to change without notice. {#Mrgreen}

Massive fan of this Manchester band. This is off their excellent first album, which is packed with catchy melodies and some brilliant lyrics ("there's blood on your legs, I love you" anyone). This song is quite different from rest of album though (erm, being lyric-less and all). They are also very good live! Err, have I sold them yet...

Very different, this is the only instrumental on the album,as good as it is, the album is made up of a lot of more folky rock, sung with a liverpudlian accent. Worth a check out, but definitely very different to that Explosions in the Sky type instrumental. Check out I Am Kloot's A Day in the Life (not a cover of the Beatles tune) very original with an amasing base-line and drum beat...well worth it

With this song, this band has found a new identity. I'm still not sure about them as songwriters. I'm still waiting for an "I Will Follow" or "Every Breath You Take" or "Karma Police." But they can rock, no doubt, and in cool new ways.
