July 14, 2008 Earworm



Supergrass' latest, "Diamond Hoo Ha", finds Gaz and gang reclaiming the T-Rex records they were playing during "Life On Other Planets" without leaving the wide open sonics on "The Road To Rouen" and for two and a half glorious minutes "When I Needed You" offers up the not as messy as it reads "Sweet Bolan Oxygen Love Fueled by Buckingham". I am dead in love with this song and like a pubescent teen, I can't stop thinking about it.

Six albums - and fourteen years into their career, it's obvious that Supergrass will never be anyone's pick for the best band in the world - and I'm sure they are thankful for it - but I agree with Erlewine's claim that "The world is a better place for having Supergrass in it."
