i agree wholeheartedly with this,
another song with lots of "shnickle" is 'one' by U2, spinetingling stuff,

http://www.harmony-central.com/Guitar/OLGA/all/u2.html

another spinetingling song is'there is a light that never goes out' by the 
smiths which i recently heard a cover of by, i think, friendship 7, from new 
york (anybody heard of?) being played by mark and lard and you'd think that 
is an untouchable song, that anybody covering it can do no good but it was 
sooo good that hairs *did* actually did stand up, niiice.

also kings of convinience's new single 'toxic girl' has had strings added 
since it's original incarnation on the  playing live in a room EP  and they 
sound a bit cheesy when they kick in but they really help the song later on, 
also the andy votel mix of winnind a battle...  is G|R|A|T|E, so there.

so i looked through my old posts to find out if i had mentioned any body 
parts and was surprized at how many i had!

face (twice)
flares (well they're constantly with me)
thumb
arse (twice)
fingers (twice)
lip
brain
hands (twice)
and
throat

so, honey, expect a bunch of pictures or a big one with the relevant 
annotations, ok?

luv 'n gaffa tape
