Well! Its pretty strange hearing a band like Hot Hot Heat everywhere from my dentist surgery to random shops blaring it out in the middle of the day. I can see how they’re so popular though, this songs a really well written song. Its got great pop hooks and yet it sounds so much better than bands like the Libertines and the Strokes and its definitely more rocking than faux rock bands the Datsuns or Jet.
This mix though is a bit irritating, they tried to make the song even more radio friendly. They’ve added a few ooohs and aaaahs and it just sounds silly. They should have just chucked the original on there.
The b-side is so Dexys Midnight Runners it hurts, and I really don’t like that band. I think the reason I hated the sub pop ep was because it just sounded so much like Dexys, but when they put out the full length they seemed to just focus on writing good pop songs.
I’m sure I’ll be sick of this track by tomorrow, but for now Ill be happier dancing to this in some shit club than I would be to your band!
