have to say that I rather agree with the Duke on this issue. 'Beautiful' is the one for me, for now. I think it's also worth noting that the covers seem to be becoming >more and more like indie pop covers from years back. Am I >talking rubbish or do youi good folk know what I'm on >about?

Yes Tim, I would agree with you on the covers front. 'Dog..' was VERY Smithsian almost to the point of self-parody. A sure fire case of wearing influences on your sleeve. I'm also reminded of the old Woodentops and, to an extent Housemartins, sleeves. Anyone else have an opinion?

well i did love 'fakers' for some time, and then i loved 'book' because, ooh, it sounded lovely. then when i got the entire ep i liked pastie because it's so POP, but now i like 'beautiful' best because, well it is. See, it's simple :-)
