Well, we haven't heard it that frequently lately... but following it with TFF isn't an auspicious start IMHO.  Dave's in vacay mode already, methinks.

Patti Smith just covered it too.  That's not what you're thinking of, is it?

can I beat Gaz to the punch with a proxy WOS vote for ASWTDID?  IIRC, he hates it because Henley rhymes a word with itself.

WOS from me.  I never thought Don was as clever as he did.

VHM JCM -- didn't we hear this in a very recent '85 set?  Appropriate for the holiday, tho.

WOW!  OMG!  BOS to "Like to Get to Know You Well," one of my faves from HoJo.  He really did some great stuff for a few years.

BOS HoJo -- closest we'll get to a rarity today, I'll wager.

Time was, this was almost as big a Katrina as Katrina herself.  But Dave has since relegated Scritti Politti to once-a-year status.   I distinctly remember during the original debate over the terminology back on the old Yahoo! boards that we'd heard this in 4 out of 5 sets at one point circa 2001.  We still got it 3 times in 2005, but this is only the 2nd time since.

"Like to get to know you.... WELL???"

Agreed, a small but delightful body of work.

FWIW, I don't remember how it tasted, but I remember that I didn't dislike New Coke.  Then again, I liked Crystal Pepsi, Joost, OK, and several other failed colas . . .
