while 'out in the streets' may not be 'be my baby' obvious, it certainly pushes the boundaries. i tend to disapprove of the obvious but always seem to end up voting for them.
the shpongle track was pretty harmless, but as a final pick it lacked some oomph.
the shangri-las can't be denied.

I really enjoyed the melodic twists and turns of A. The flute playing was lovely. What a great piece of instrumental music. I know people on here revere things like B and put them on 100 foot high pedestals, but this morning it's A that's making the greater impact.

( A needs some gash, but it'll take some cash to change my vote.)

Never really got the 'Shangs'. Jeff K used to rave about them, Ray's written a fair bit about them too. All that gothic teen melodrama...not my cuppa at all.
HOWEVER! they still beat A, which sounds like Morris dancers at a 90s rave. Utter RUBBISHE

A...sounds like Morris dancers at a 90s rave. God, I WISH! That would be more interesting than this. I don't have to bring up wheelhouses here, do I? Anyway, I don't quite get the reverence either (at least not to the same degree as some), but B is a nice dramatic performance, and it's far from the top of my list of most-heard Shangs songs.

Before I even pushed play, I knew A wasn't for me --Shplongle? Get fucked. A big fat B for me.

B all the way.Not many acts could stand up to the shang's for me especially someone with a fucking stupid name like shpongle that must have been dreamed up by a third rate advertising agency.

I have some kind of problem with Mary Weiss meowing, every time I listen to their records it makes the oldies charm of their sound go away.
A was reasonably acceptable to overcome this. Not that I will actively seek out their records, mind.

Could've sworn I had a Shpongle album somewhere, but if I did I haven't logged it in rateyourmusic. Psytrance! Dance music for middle-class hippies. Yeah man, I'm like totally taking a year off uni to find myself. Nice bit of chunky guitar floated randomly into the mix, I thought power-chords were banned here. yeah, it's alright, cheap n' cheerful, and a change of style for the board.
B's trying to pick something as safe as houses, and avoid the accusations of obviousness. Decent enough thing, but I'm not stamping my seal of approval on it.

I was told there would be Shpongle. if that Is the shpongle then I guess I'm a little disappointed. that IS the Shangri-Las, no doubt about it. I am NOT disappointed.
