I've said it before and I'll say it again -- this death shit is really starting to piss me off.
PS: I'd also forgotten that I reviewed the album from whence that song derives. Here it is, in the September 1990 issue of Stereo Review.
Jeez, I really was a cynical bastard back then. I mean, the digs at XTC and Todd Rundgren strike me as a bit much. Other than that, however, I think I got the album right.

That was a nice review Steve and, if you want to be even more pissed....Eric Carmen also died.
I heard about Carmen right after I finished writing about Wallinger. Not a fun day.
"I really was a cynical bastard back then."
Back then?

a joyful song and a great band name
grief is a consequence of love
we are all time-limited phenomena - and memory can be a blessing
as the george carlin character says in the bill & ted movie
be excellent to each other, and party on, dudes!
RIP to the great Karl Wallinger. He defineatly goes into the "You never know what you got til its gone' category. One of the greats...
Ouch. Wallinger was a favorite.
