I liked that, by the way. Though from your intro, I thought it might be Setzer bringing a rockabilly vibe to Caravan. Which would have boggled my mindQuote:

I'll be honest, I just like looking at Bowie, I don't really like his music all that much. 4/10
This I like.
Hahaha. Been a while since I've heard that one. C'mon, hit me, hit me.
El Sancho digs tacky 70s pop tunes. 8 out of 10 open-collared, floral-print, polyester shirts, and a wide-brimmed pimp hat with a peacock feather thrown in for good measure.
Let's back up twenty more years, when trombones and saxophones could still rock the joint.

Snazzy Sancho, real snazzy. I'd have a ball if that came on at a club. 8/10
All this year I worked at a hotel sort of thing, and they play the radio perpetually in all of the business sections. I hated everything they played for the most part, but this one radio song I really liked. If I were ever a stripper (hey, you've got to admire their work ethic) this would be my jam:

I like it - I didn't think I would. It has a crisp sound.

However, when you remember the specific song from the time, you can get past the datedness and listen to it with the same feeling immediacy and relevance that you felt back then.
For instance....
Exactly - the feeling of immediacy is spot on. It's as if for an instant you're that person again.Quote:

it's ok, 7.5/10.

Haha, good performance. 7/10

6/10, just because I hate it when the video doesn't sync up perfectly with the sound, although I do like the inexplicable chef in the crowd.

As Paul decided not to rate this one a few posts back, I'm going to give it another shot.
I listened to their 2nd, 3rd, and 4th albums obsessively, so it gets a 9.8/10.Quote:
