So I just
keep listening to the two songs I’ve got, particularly to “Juxtaposed
With U,” a soaringly lovely pop song which I included on our mix
CD two weeks back. It’s a song I’ve taken to playing rather
a lot, and I sing it to myself when I’m out walking around or when
I’m sweeping the floor, and I get to the point of making up new lyrics
for it, which is how you know when a song’s really gotten to you.
And then, one afternoon while I’m singing the chorus’s opening
lines (“You’ve got to tolllllllll-erate/all those people that
you hate”), something dawns on me. This is a great song, all right,
but its great feel and burnished sheen are not something that the Super
Furry Animals can really claim as theirs. They’ve got it on loan from
Boz Scaggs.
