It's like vintage 10cc and seems like some best-kept-secret or something. I've played it 3 times in 2 days (and it's a rare new record that I do that with...)<br /><br />I'll have to dig through Spotify to hear the rest of their discography to see if this is just a one-off album or not..Shrinerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12843553710427657926noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4357001616333664522.post-57306467265225998992011-09-19T08:14:37.609-07:002011-09-19T08:14:37.609-07:00With Ween, the place *not* to start must be where ...With Ween, the place *not* to start must be where I did, with 12 GOLDEN COUNTRY GREATS.

I've been a fan of these guys since the 70's when they started in Sylvania, Ohio (Toledo suburb).

I meant they are creepy enough for inclusion on the (hopefully) upcoming October mix.<br />Over on Song Meanings, someone posted this about The Electrician:<br />"a political song ... having to do with ... the Americans sending in these people, trained torturers in South America ... I imagined these lovers in a conversation ... if you listen the words of The Electrician it really explains itself after I've started." - Scott Walker in a 1984 radio interviewJames A.
