Another thing for my "please bring this back from Germany" list that I have been compiling for my husband. I didn't know that there was this much Carpenters hatred. I don't own any albums, but I happily sing along when a song comes on the radio. I don't go diving to change the station (as I do with, say, Crocodile Rock). And then there is that Tallahatchie Bridge thing. That song was played non-stop during the summer of 1967, when my family drove cross country with nothing but my father's story-telling and the AM radio to keep us company. Man, I wanted to know so bad what they were throwing off that bridge. Pass the biscuits, please.

I can and do endorse plenty of other seventies softies, calling 'em as I encounter them, but I didn't hear pop music during that period so the nostalgia isn't there (I was either unborn or tuned in to secondhand country). - -Rex ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 27 Jun 2008 18:37:41 -0700 From: Rex Subject: New Wire song Here: http://www.pinkflag.com/assets/mp3/One-Of-Us_from_Object-47_by_Wire.mp3 A nice reminder that they can better pop songs than most pop bands when and if they feel like it.
