Negative Positive
Title: Sheer Happenstance
Review: So I'm in Austin visiting family . . . At 2:00 in the morning, I have to drive to Randalls (for those not fortunate enough to live in the Lone Star State, Randalls is the overpriced grocery store chain of the millenium) to pick up some suddenly needed medicine for the kiddo. On my return trip to the house, I'm listening to 91.7 FM, when the DJ announces that he will next play a song by the band Spoon. For two-and-a-half minutes, I am mesmerized by the song I now know to be "Vittorio E." I now know so, because as we were leaving town the next day, we stopped at Waterloo Records (fabulous independent record store) so that I could pick up a copy of this outstanding CD. I will leave the song-by-song reviews to those who are more inclined to write as much. Simply put, this CD is a must-have, and the aforementioned "Vittorio E." and "Don't Let It Get You Down" {not to be confused with Graham Parker's "Don't Let It Break You Down) are two of the finest songs I have heard in many a moon.
Is the review positive or negative?
