I was walking past my bedroom, it was probably late at night, or early in the day, I don't know, but MTV was on my television and so was Gomez, in the music video for this song. It was 1998, and I was thirteen, and I totally dug this song. I guess I still do, but as my love for Gomez grew, this song and I grew apart. It's been on my iPod since the very beginning, but never got a rating, never got to dance around my playlists like various other (not as good) Gomez songs.

My love for Gomez stops at about four songs into Split The Difference, and I like to pretend that their output after that album doesn't exist. Admittedly, they were kids about my age now when they started making music back when I was thirteen. They're in their 30's now and maybe their priorities have changed, instead of writing dumb fun songs about being affluent retarded kids in their mid-twenties, they're interested in other things... like making rubbish music to make money (kind of like Weezer, another band who were great in their early twenties but now churns out rubbish like an infernal machine, and even openly admits to the fact that Weezer exists solely as a commercial enterprise in SPIN and no one notices or cares).

So, yeah, Gomez. They won the Mercury Prize for this album, beating Massive Attack's Mezzanine and The Verve's Urban Hymns (by no means small albums to overcome). That's pretty rad. Good job, Gomez.
