It's just a slap and tickle to get from Squeeze to Paul Carrack and if you grab Nick Lowe - which everyone involved did at some point - you get Paul's solo hit, "I Need You", which managed to squeeze into the top 40 back in the summer of '82. I wore out two copies of the 45 before finally realizing that I needed the album.

His latest album is great, too. Finally.

In related news, Elvis Costello will be playing on The Tonight Show in about thirty minutes. If you don't know how that is related, I don't know why you are here.

Mondays are always murder but another one passes and we're much more lucky than Francesca in Squeeze's bestest b-side, "What The Butler Saw". "The porch light, the torch light, the frosted morning lawn. The cloak of daylight has finally been drawn on the tale of what the butler saw".
Wonderful.
But, not for Francesca...
