Pretty good. Great song pick. The video's too tame, considering the boldness of the lyrics. Who has come closer in a song to suggest his father raped him?
Classic song, definitely a new take on a well-established song... not a big fan of this version, but I can still respect the greatness of this rendition.
I do love smog, and Callaghan's original but there is no comparison in dynamics. Bill? not so dynamic. Tielli? oozes dynamics. That makes this version much better...for me.
You can never be better than an original, in my opinion. But I much prefer this version. It has more dynamics. I really enjoy Smog's original as well. Some like simple, some like dynamic. I like both.
@FOWLMUSIC I know! I just heard about this and I can't stop listening to it. I like new shit and trendy shit and old classic shit and everything. So why should someone like this not be commercial?! A definite sign of our conservative society when you see only 11,000 people have seen this. At least their our competition
If you just heard about this song... DESPERATELY seek out and find the album it is on "Operation Infinite Joy" It is one of the best albums of all time. DO IT!

This guy's brilliant. This guy's sound hits the mark for me, it's just that genius, that off the beaten path, and that fucking smart.
Amazing.
And did I mention there is a hint of Bowie in there, not an easy sound to achieve.

Martin's phrasing is an upgrade to most any song, in my opinion. I like this version as much as the original.

This song is o.k., but Martin's stuff is so much better. Check out We Didn't Even Suspect He was the Poppy Salesman. And of course, any Rheostatics.

meh i like the smog verion better so what ever dynamic you think that one is then thats the one i like but i never put that much thought in to it
turdlinger5000 4 years ago
weird, I can't imagine anyone not liking Martin's version better. But then again I can't understand how Martin doesn't rule the radio waves.

@FOWLMUSIC though martin's version is certainly pleasant it is not nearly as visceral or provocative.
