This and Lafitte Don't Fail Me Now (the other song about their rough end with Elektra) are easily my two favorite tracks on A Series of Sneaks. A truly elegant middle finger to Ron Lafitte. Utilitarian and Advance Cassette are both amazing as well. A superb album as a whole. Hard to believe Elektra didn't like it. Didn't bring it to the radio or anything (not even Utilitarian, which is less than 2 minutes). I wonder what Ron Lafitte and the other Elektra guys think of it now.

written about their A&R man after Elektra Records dropped them, amazing how a good bit of anger can be turned into good music..

The Nada Surf Version is pretty good though, look for that one at least.
