I swear to God I was thinking of this song earlier today. I love this album something fierce...
It's fine, isn't it? BTW Dave, if you have a minute to spare: That link in the band name is to a review I wrote a few years ago talking about PF's output in relationship with their frequent producer, Thomas Dolby.
I'd love to know what you think.
I've been out of town for the weekend and am just catching up now. I'll get to read it later this week.
Cool, I look forward to hearing your opinion when you get a chance.
