This album is surprisingly good. Really. My only copmlaint is how blatantly knocked off track # 8 is. Did Liam just get a copy of The Stranglers Golden Brown? Not even a disguised lift to my ears, bloody obvious really. But a very good first couple of listens so far.
I’m just now watching the DVD and they call ‘Part of the Queue’ (song #8) “‘Golden Brown’ by way of Manchester”, so they seem to be aware of how it sounds.

You are, of course, correct. On both counts.

Still a good song, too.

I’m pretty sure you mean that’s the *good* Stranglers song. I haven’t been able to get into too much else of theirs.

You don’t like Peaches? “Walking on the beaches lookin at the peaches”. It even rhymes like Liamy-boy wrote it. In crayon.
