That Summertime Sound
"I'd always believed a great rock song consolidated an entire lifetime's worth of feeling into seconds or less, just like an orgasm or a sneeze. Unlike those things it went on a while - long enough to attain consciousness within its frame - and it never continued quite as far as you hoped, but that's what a great song did.

It contains five tracks: three of them brand new, a studio version of a crowd favorite that they close their live shows with (Shira), and a Lucinda Williams cover, Something About What Happens When We Talk. I couldn't say enough nice words about the last album, and this EP c...

Track:
Alright, here's an idea. Let's put together four white guys. Take them from Australia. And have them sing Motown songs. You know, Motown, that motor city soul that has its own musical genre named after it. Let's name them Human Nature. I know what you're thinking - who would ever take their chances with that set up? Try Smokey Robinson. Yeah, THAT Smokey Robinson, practically the number two man...
