This tune just rules, so I'm posting it.

Dunno why, but i've been playing the hell out of it (and TF) the past week.

Great song, might be my favorite TF. I'm a late-comer to the band's music, having just picked up the Best Of a couple of years ago when it came out. I can't believe I hadn't heard them before that. Everyone should give them a shot if they haven't.

Great song, easily one of their best!

Dalen, that band The Brother Kite that you have been talking up reminds me of Teenage Fanclub's early stuff, probably explains the love for this one.

Love Grand Prix. I never understood how the critics that were all over them for Bandwagonesque jumped ship shortly after.

Possibly because they were British and the hot new thing was Oasis.

TF is aces, from top to bottom.

Dude, all time favorite power pop and TF song.

Must of played it hundreds of times since I bought the album years ago, still not sick of it and doubt i'll ever will.

I've been playing a lot of TF lately too but like Timis 'Bandwagonesque' is my favourite - it's the sound of my first year in college.

Having said that I think my favourite track by 'The Fannies' is 'Start Again' from 'Songs From Northern Britain'.

Great band.
I cannot think of a single Fannies song that is less than excellent.

I'd have to say my fav album's from them would be Thirteen and Grand Prix.

Sparky's Dream, Mellow Doubt, Neil Jung, Discolite, Going Places, Radio, Hang On, Norman 3, Commercial Alternative......all just killer, killer tunes.
