The Field Mice - Let's Kiss and Make Up
Most mp3 blogs have posted this already, but it's new to me, so whatevs.
I love that the chiming guitar figure in the right channel isn't just "dum Dum dum", etc., but is (sometimes? always?) "dum DA-DUM dum", etc. Feel me?
What I'm talking about can perhaps most clearly be heard at the 1:27 mark.

St Etienne's album version of this was the first St Et. song I ever heard (and I went out and bought the album pronto), so I have a special fondness for it. Never got it through my thick skull that it was a cover (I just knew that St. Et in fact did several versions of it with different singers), so thanks for this.
Hey Plague, glad you enjoyed it. I came to this through St. E's version, but hadn't ever heard either version before last week.
You see, British indie pop was not particularly huge among teenagers in Connecticut in 1990. At the time I was listening to The Grateful Dead.
As it happens, I'll be seeing St. E. live in NYC tomorrow night! Have a great weekend. Thx again for the comment.
@Emmett. Cool about getting to see St. Et. tomorrow. Bob Stanley (as 'Wichita Lineman') comments and banters regularly over at Tom Ewing's Popular blog (to which I also contribute). He always has something interesting to say, and of course, he wrote a song about it, 'Popular', on the new album. Anyhow, I imagine he'll have checked out Art Decade at some point, so if you cross paths....
