my MOM liked these guys

 

so? i grew up listening to awesome stuff like joni mitchell, steely dan, the beatles, and bach. (also shit music like barry manilow and stuff i can appreciate but wouldn't listen to like gordon lightfoot). the point? moms are people too, with taste, some of which you'll like and some of which you won't. to dismiss music just because your MOM listened to it is fucking stupid. now go and check out the self-titled album and for your pleasure. and then come back with an opinion.

 

kthx

My MOM obviously has taste 'cause she hated them too LoL.

K knows his stuff.

This brings back memories of the first time I ever felt a record was 'sexy' as a wee teen. The original mix that resurfaced on 'The Thrill Of It All' is possibly even better, and is the only song by genuinely talented artists whose bassline I can play note-for-note.

I agree it's underrated, and that reenactment reminds me of the some of the reconstructions in The Rutles film (especially 'Get Back'/'Get Up And Go', the policeman walking past camera made me lol like fuck).
