The perfect pop guitar solo? Well, I like it so much I'm going to learn it, just for the hell of it. When I have time that is, of course.



and for contender No.2, the perfect end-of-innocence summer holiday song. I think this is a classic. It's very um, er...rude, in an oblique way. I also think that this non-video with lyrics works better than almost any of the more conventional pop-videos of the era. But that could be because I think the words matter in the overall appreciation of the structure, fitness, and beauty, of the pop song.



Around this period of the band even Jools sounds brill.
Squeeze were one of the bands the quality of whose work was such that they really deserved to have been significantly bigger than they were. (I am reminded of Spirit and Randy California. Twelve Dreams was quite an album.)

Oh, your mention of Squeeze has triggered a tidal wave of memories. Not to mention that Pulling Mussels will be stuck in my head for days. I don't much mind.

Hope the set of memories includes enough good'uns.
