i am v conflicted:

pros
lovely bouncy guitar pop
memories of a million student discos

cons
that TW@ of a lead singer
most of the other people who liked them, who are no doubt now james blunt's key demographic (ie geography students)

I secretly liked 2P though would never have admitted it at the time.

I heard "Jimmy Olsen Blues" first. Blame graciousviv for that one.

my dilemma is that i cannot remember my genuine feeling at the time, and as such conside me the poptimist traitor. one big clue is that i bought (and still own) the cd single. clearly it is a fun tune in some sense, however i am sure i detested the variety of fun it dealt out. possibly through being repeatedly told in social situations that it was the epitome of ugh AOR american cheese.

i think i could not enjoy it now

it may be even this singular contradictory basket case of attitude to a song that drives my current poptimism

It is a catchy song but I could never really like it because every time I'd hear it I'd think of the goaty looking hippies at school who looked like the Spin Doctors.
