Time to give some respect to the classic first 2 records of Nick Lowe:What's the best track in "jesus of cool" and "labour of lust"?

Also thanks for noticing SOMETHING there, man, it's been haunting me. Heh.

There's a 'glitch' noise the last time he sings 'I don't know why', what about that one?

Seems like you may be the first to have noticed this. I looked around the web and the closest thing I could find was not really related. http://www.thebluegrasssituation.com/read/shift-list-chef-john-currence-shares-soundtrack-his-rock-%E2%80%98n%E2%80%99-roll-life

If you don't want to click- it's a chef talking about his past in an indie rock band- here is the relevant part, perhaps not relevant enough but just bizarre enough to mention

The band relocated to Chapel Hill, North Carolina, where they wound up recording with legendary producer Mitch Easter, who had helmed R.E.M.’s earliest recordings. Easter’s relationship with the indie pioneers led to a surreal moment at one of Chapter Two’s own sessions. The band was at his house one day, trying to get a sound effect down on tape in his driveway, when a car pulled up. “We were in the middle of a take and we were like, ‘Who is this asshole?’” says Currence. “And then Mike Mills [of R.E.M.] gets out of the car, so our tune changed a bit.” The bassist stuck around and even helped with the session, creating a rhythm component for a song by hitting a baseball mitt with a ping-pong paddle

Also, one of the chef's favorite songs is the one under discussion.

Ha. Weird. I wonder if Nick Lowe is involved with his Facebook page at all... this all winds up with me living in a house with NICK LOWE-SECRET SOUND FX-CIA MIND CONTROL painted on the front, right?

(Oh and Mark G I think that's the noise I'm talking about!)

I hear the "ping-pong" as well — most noticeably between 2:44 and 2:50.
