Mind you I only remembered that because it is so distinctive, but I didn’t really get on with it

Good grief Pyro, as much as I love sparklehorse, that’s ****. Is John Peel playing it at 33 instead of 45?

Pyro, I think you need to get in touch with these guys. 😉

Meh. I have different taste in music to you. It’s not a crime, y’know…
