The CRACKER-"fan" says this is a rather amateurish-highschoolish song!

I like this—and the Robyn Hitchcock sounding guitar in it.

Which is probably why there are no World Air Sitar Championships, like there are for air guitar.  Less room for self-expression.

 
I don't know dude. Stroking the strings between your legs! Seems like the BEST self expression out there. if you know what I mean.

Me too.  I was playing along on the air-sitar.  It's a lot like playing air-guitar, but you play sitting cross-legged instead of standing up.

This is one freaky little ditty, to be sure-- I love the Stone Roses Syd Barrett George Harrison Byrds-kinda thing they got going here! Thanks, Bill!

Take that miserable attitude right out the door and slam it firmly in the can where it belongs. A very respectable set. HazzeSwede wrote:

Excellent line up for the last half hour, but now I'm starving for the music on my iPod so I can stay in this same vien for the rest of the day in the office.

If I would have only the music to go by, I would have guessed that this was a Beatles song. Especially, the singer sounds like John Lennon. Yet AMG describes them as a "merging of punk, folk, ska, and world musics". Interesting... Oh, I see now I'm not the first to notice Beatles-similarities: Pyro wrote:
