Woke up with this in my head. Maybe it was part of a dream, but if so I haven't retained it. Mopey, minimal, sparse. I think SM is a fan.

Yes, very engaging band. Great memories of their song Islands soundtracking some discos in my early 20s and this one has a quality that speaks it me. Sweetly detached.

Hello,

Very cool. When (not if) we get back to seeing artists perform in bars, she'd be high on the list. Appropriate given the Friday Top 5 thing.

I remembering really digging these guys when I first found alternative music, but 45 years later it sounds really slick and dated, closer to CtC than anything punk.

Ah man, how good were The Jam here? Wired brilliance, and Running On the Spot is one of my favourite lyrics of all time.

There's a tiny, tiny hopeful part of me that says you guys are running a Kaufmanesque long con on the board

Have to agree with Heston, The Jam were and still are one of my favorites. Nice find on the video, that guys YouTube channel has a lot of very rare Jam videos I've never seen. I'm going to be busy watching some of them tomorrow.

#1 single in UK, topped at #96 in the U.S. (1975)
