If I Never Hear Allison Road Again....

...it probably would be too soon. Okay, so that's a bit harsh. But man, talk about a song being done to death. I've had my music collection on random today, and Allison Road has come up too many times. Theoritically I thing I only have two copies (Up and Crumbling and New Miserable Experience), but it seems like I've pressed skip more times than that.

Back in the day it used to be fairly high up on my 'not favorite' songs - or you can substitute that with 'not Hopkins' songs. [wink] I thought it was a really solid pop song - nothing earth shattering, but a good solid pop song. These days, if I hear it one more time... [smile] Like I said, a bit of a harsh comment towards my beloved Blossoms (strike me down [wink] ), but the song really has been done to death, and it's hard to get excited when it comes on. [smile]

Conversely, back in the day, Hands Are Tied didn't really do it for me. It was my least favorite of the rockers - too much of an alterative slant to rival the likes of Hold Me Down or Hey Jealousy. But these days, Hands Are Tied is the shit!

In other news, I have WAY too many Roger Clyne and The Peacemakers live recordings on my hard drive. [smile] No fault of the band at all, but it's getting old skipping those too.

At the moment I'm playing with moving all my music to my Linux server. One of the problems is not preserving the file creation dates, so queuing files in Winamp doesn't seemlessly sort in the right order, like when I enqueue them local off my Windows machine.

So, I just queued Satelitte, and Sometimes Just One Time happened to come after I Don't Mind. I've never noticed before, but the riff at the end of I Don't Mind is virtual exactly the same as the intro riff of Sometimes Just One Time. Just an interesting thing I've noticed before. Very reminicent of Brian Blush's re-use of his own licks.
