You say that like it's a good thing.
Are y'all going to be glorifying every bit of half-forgotten 80s dross now that the 80s are, you know, real cool and stuff now? Not that I have any particular axe to grind against "Young Turks" but it's very, very much b-level Rod and just cause it has some tinny synth beat doesn't suddenly make it great.

Nothing much, just the tune, the vocals, the lyrics, the music.

The line "drove his pick up like a lunatic"
My ears heared an alternate word for "Pick"

Maniac by Michael Sembello. Interested to see what Tom makes of that.

LondonLee - sure it's not as good as "You Wear It Well", but that's his best song. It's better than "Mandolin Wind", "Every Picture Tells A Story", "The Killing Of Georgie", etc etc.

If we're gonna be glorifying half-forgotten Rod singles then I'd like to praise "Farewell", the sort of lovely mandolin-and-fiddle driven ditty that reminds you how much The Pogues owe him.

how did it take them this long

this is great, it's bugged me for ages that my Twigs records were on a label with that name (my wife is armenian so I never hear the end of it re: this terminology, whether it's around Cenk's stupid broadcast or this song. In fact she wrote a pretty good essay about her reaction when she learned this was the name of this song).

I was just talking about this with an Armenian friend of mine, who’d never heard of the label, and he was amused by the founder’s claim that he was unaware of the term’s connotations despite initially electing a skull wearing a fez as the label’s logo.

yeah there's a similar comment on the post; though I could see them just doing that because it was a fez and a fez is associated with turks in general. I would not be surprised if they did not investigate this very deeply given their ages when the label launched.
