In 7th place, with 8pts, it's
with Pacer by The Amps
They said: My choice for the ending track could have slotted in here, but this is Sheep so I won't be repeating answers! And since I'm not using The Breeders for #3 (or #1, because I had one of theirs considered for that category too!) it's only fair I give Kim Deal some airtime here instead. This is quite a simple, jangly song but it has the charming ramshackle quality that I love about Kim Deal's music. It sounds like she's just after recording it in your sitting room in between smoke breaks, and that's really cool.

Newness: 4/5
Fit: 10/10
Song: 6/10
Total EN Score: 80%
Newness comment: I know The Amps are Kim Deal's band that aren't the Breeders or Pixies, but don't think I've listened to them
Song comment: I think my knowledge of Kim Deal is tainting my listening here. There's a definite similarity of style to her other bands, but it's not as good for me. I get to the end and find I want to listen to Cannonball, but I don't think that's a great endorsement for this song, sorry
