One thing that makes me curious is the arrangement. This song is totally brilliant and then made all the more so because of how it's arranged. Composition and arrangement both by Ms. Mann?
Has anyone seen that one animation where a guy is going through his morning routine while this song is playing in the background, then at the end he dresses up like a girl gorilla and drives off to join his girl gorilla gang?
Paul (the bass player) sounds great with Aimee. He's got a song called "Can't Keep A Good Man Down" that I hope gets released one of these days.
Michael Lockwood on guitar (man of the hats!) is awesome here too as are Jebin (keys) and John (drums).
The great thing about Aimee is that anyone she works with is great in their own right. Paul's got a song called "Can't Keep A Good Man Down" that I'm hoping gets released one of these days. Heard it live one time and I never forgot it.
I can't get enough Aimee Mann, I am going out to purchase one of her CD's right now...but will look on the CD for WMG first ! Boycott WMG products, but I am hoping Aimee is with a different company.
Awesome lineup, indeed! Check Lockwood and Aimee out on the live version of Longshot on this site. Wow! He would be great supporting her on current tour for Smilers but, alas, he's an expecting daddy.
The smile at the end is because the song was supposed to end about 8 bars sooner! This song rips my heart out. Most poignant usage of the F word ever. ... except for the end of "Believed You Were Lucky". Maybe.
Aimee Mann is brilliant! I just found out that Grant Lee Phillips collaborated with her on Bachelor No.2 It's no wonder why this is one of my favorite albums of hers:)
I like the song on the album better, this here sounds a little bit bored, heavy, slow, like a train winding up a hill - as if she was doing a job, but okay, at the end, I can see a smile in her face...:) - was it maybe the last song she was doing in this concert, when everybody on stage was exhausted?
I think everything has been said. She's a great talented artist. It's really sad that she's not well-known because she definitely has something special...
Well-spoken, mate. Excellence living on the edge of obscurity while talentless pretty boys and girls are inflicted on the airwaves all over America. It's a damn shame.
One of the two artist against whom i've never committed an act of piracy in my whole life

In such a dreamy, pleasant song, it's always so jarring when that 1st f-bomb flies. Keeps you from getting too complacent as a listener.

Yeah. It's weird. I think we're just seeing how much we can learn about the story when there is no dialouge.

I actually like that his voice comes through more on the fleadh videos. I think he's fabtastic on the fleadh "Red Vines" vid.

I notice that I can listen to all of Aimee's songs without getting bored. She throws a lot of twists into her songs. She's an innovator.
