Valentines Day.... thats today isn't it? Eh.. er.. I think.....
But let me tell you something that I REALLY LOVE... Squeeze. Definately not a chicky band -- this one is straight from the heart. What makes this band endure the tests of time is due to the fact that this bands tells stories.... and tells them very well. In the span of just 3 minutes you get an entire story of what happened in the life time of an average schlugg.... He doens't want to get dirty on the dance floor, he doesn't want to steal your drugs, he doesn't even want to get nasty in the back of a cab..... if anything he just wants to live his life.... and hang out with his best mates at the local pub.... and kick out sweet jams like this.
A recent re-run of the Sopranos really nailed it. The thugs were getting into the music biz and these mob cretins were creating rock music, ala... The Smashing Pumpkins.. and this record producer blurts out, "This shits horrible.... I was around a long time and I met them all Hendrix, Joplin , The Who...etc. Those kids had a spark, they were magic, and I didn't even like their music .... but these kids today... especially this band you brought in here.... they got nothing... these guys are nowhere".
I feel the same way about a lot of bands we must endure today. Squeeze was a real band and they had real lyrics. You had to have somewhat of a brain to appreciate them. Which is probably why they never got really HUGE in their time. Oh... they did alright in fact they did more than just... OKAY. But they never really got as huge as some of these other acts that I won't even bother mentioning.

Yes yes... I first seen these guys appear on the Uncle Floyd Show in Newark New Jersey. Me and Floyd Vivino have good taste.
This stuff is like a great wine..... These are finely crafted pop songs.
