and that version of kiss me on the bus, as previously stated..is indeed fuckballs good. As is the IOU. Tim wins this round of reissues best i think. Love the story on the version of Regular- the original is take one, the bonus is take 2. Such a great song full of his best lyrics i think. If oly he coulda gotten the hanful of friends one needs a match and one needs some ice in there… it think he could.

Can’t say if that would hold true on a good stereo system though.

Among the bonus tracks, I’m digging the more rocking version of Kiss Me On The Bus on Tim. And speaking of Tim, what song is that little string piece at the end? Little Mascara?

You would have to turn the volume to eleven to get a good listen. I would reccomend that, unless you cannot live without these reissues, you wait until iTunes fixes the sound or buy the CD’s instead.
