Thanks Brian, and a salute back for all the great stuff you turned me on
too. One of my favorites is Big Wednesday. Sliding In Like McGrain will
always be a favorite, but that whole EP is fantastic.
I've always loved "Brand New Baby", and for me the version off their
"Pleasure" EP is the best version (pre-mca release by Cherry Records). I put
it on the audio player on my website if anyone wants it
(http://www.garylittleton.net) . I've got to salute P.Hux here. I first
heard about Semisonic and this song when he raved about this tune to me
years ago.
Cheers.
Gary
