**Edwyn Collins:** This is the man behind the iconic band _"Orange Juice"_. OJ pretty much went unnoticed from the time they formed in '76 'til the time the disbanded in '84. With a small cult following behind him Edwyn entered the arena of the solo artist and again failed to find commercial success. In 1994 he recorded another solo attempt with a small indie label in the UK, the album was called _"Gorgeous George"_ and it gave him his first true international hit (yes, in the U.S. as well). Makes me want to get dirty drunk(There is now an mp3 of "Rip it Up" by _Orange Juice_ in the comments)

  4. scotfree says I remember this track very well, but don't think I knew who it was by or even have it on any comps. Always reminded me of vintage Bowie. Love the scratchy synths! Nice one!!

  5. scotfree says Oh yeah, and I did that last night (dirty drunk). That Isley-ish guitar fade is making my head pound a bit.

  6. dachmo says Alot of people compare this to Iggy Pop which I can see, but I think your right with the Bowie comparison. For the dirty-drunk headache: have a banana and a V8, works for me.

  7. PopeyePete says I love this tune! I remember hearing it constantly on the radio back in the mid 90s. I actually just got into Orange Juice this year and I found out that Edwyn was the lead singer of that group. Great music pick dach!

  8. Lady Miss Ian says OMG! That's who did this song. I remember hearing this, like Scottfree, on Alternative Radio quite a bit. I think it ended up in several soundtracks as well. Thanks for posting. If you've got an "juice" throw that up here, too. Would love to hear it. Cheers!

  12. dachmo says Different, not really my taste in "new wave" but I do remember this song from back then although nothing else from them sticks out.
