This song is way cooler than I thought it was 10 years ago.
I'm still pissed it wasn't included on Lost Dogs.
The End.

There's a wonderful, jangly, 80's college rock vibe to the studio version. That whimsical fun is lost when they play it as heavily as they do live.

I love this song.

I've never heard the studio version

Exactly. Pretty much the way I would put it.

He's lying.

No, it's true. The only version I've ever heard is the live one from TB2K.

Studio version = Jack Irons

I had to look it up and make sure it was really on TB2K.

Thanks. I'll check it out when I'm out of this conference call I'm not even paying attention to but am contractually obligated to attend.

Ah this one. After Backspacer I like this one even more. It's sort of one of the first times I saw PJ in a more light whimsical way. This, along with the lighter rarities like U, Leaving Here, Black Red Yellow, and All Night would serve as solid companions on a mixtape with Johnny Guitar, The Fixer, Supersonic, Big Wave, and Get Right.

That one is a pretty shitty rip. Here, listen to this one:

That's better.

nice work, Chud.

Never sought this out, though I liked the live versions. Once I heard the studio version the song jumped out at me like a motherfucker. Great use of the studio.

Oh cool, the studio version sounds great. What's that weird sound happening in the background throughout the song? It sounds like someone left the TV on in the studio

Oh wait
