A local radio station played this song in the mid 90's before it was bought out by clear channel. I loved the song then but being musically ignorant about anything other than country and whatever random Celtic CD I picked up, I certainly wasn't up to tracking down underground rock. I almost memorized the song in high school and recognized it instantly on R.P...I can play it in my head now. Nothing more annoying than having a song stuck in your head for 10 years and not know what it is...underground rock gah! If they have to be so secretive could they be a little less addictive...

Well, I guess you could try one of the Clear Channel clones, where they play the same set every seven minutes. Seems to me seven months is a decent enough hiatus. Then again, I'm an old fart. Maybe my clock just runs a bit slower... Nonetheless, this time Equation followed The Bangles and OK Go. Maybe Bill was listening. BTW, Equation is a British band, so perhaps the fiddles are in the British folk idiom, not merely our countrified twang, which seems to be objectionable to some. But what's wrong with a little twang now and then? I like my road apples as much as codswallop.

There's only one DJ here. And sometimes a set really works. And 7 months and 7 days? Not bad. See, I just heard it 15 days later. And even that isn't bad, because this is the first time I've heard that particular combination. It all comes out in the wash, or something, is all I'm saying.
