I had forgotten about this until this afternoon when I was mucking about in the garage and I found my old The The records. I loved the band when they first started and they were pretty much standard house records for a lot of places I went to in the Eighties. then they got a bit boring. Then a lot boring even when Johnny Marr joined. his second album with them Dusk however was a bit of a return to form and it had this killer track on it. I don't know if anything else came after.
The first time I heard it would have been at my friend Lee Lee's place. We were talking about Radiohead and how good it was and she asked if I'd heard The The's album. I wasn't interested but she still put it on. Not bad but when I heard this. Great opening with the harmonica. great song. Still a stupid name for a band though. we did play this song at Lizard lounge for a while.
Lee lived with my girlfriend. My girlfriend bought a bookcase but the only place it would fit was in the kitchen. Now it's behind where I'm sitting full of books and DVDs. Slow emotion Replay!
