Have you heard Holiday in Rhode Island? Sleep Away Your Troubles is one of my absolute favourite songs. Also if you like the song I Can't Get No Satisfaction, Thank God, you should listen to the original Talulah Gosh version, it is even better. :P
Nope, this is my first time delving into The Softies, though I've already heard a few of their songs. I will listen to that version after. I like how this is a nice middle ground between Carissa's Wierd-esque indie folk and Field Mice-esque twee pop. It's lovely. _________________

Good comparison! They're a great band. Though I've found their albums tend to have lots of meh songs, actually. But it's a very pleasant meh, so none of it is really bad, per say, just not memorable. And like I've said, they're responsible for one of my favourite songs, so... ๐
Tell me how you like the Talulah Gosh song. Backwash is definitely worth a listen, it'll be back on my chart when I have a full 100 again. I believe it's a compilation, so compilation haters begone. XD
I remember how I first checked out Softies! They were in Meow's chart description as 'songs not on this chart that are my favourites' or something, and I thought I'd check out a few of theirs, and needless to say I liked them but never had the motivation to check a whole album out until Saoirse reminded me of them ๐ _________________
Really under-rated Britpop (the term actually suits this album). 'Great Things' was one of the most inspiring songs for me during my teenage years. If they had been an all-male band they might have been more celebrated.
Waah, why does this album lose steam a little over halfway through every time? I've listened to the first half like five different times (and Penitentiary Philosophy like twenty times lol) but I still haven't gotten past "Kiss Me On My Neck". By the time I'm listening to that song I start wanting to hear the first few songs again. XD Also I don't really like "Booty" so sometimes it happens during or before that song. I think Penitentiary Philosophy is just too good of a song for its own good. The three or four songs after it are increditastic as well.
