real period piece, this one. i like it more when i think about it than when i actually listen the whole way through, probably because of the wannabe gen x slacker profundity of most of the lyrics. can't deny the effectiveness of the sampling though.

lol the song title is also sampled


The song's title is a reference to the otherwise unrelated song "Outside a Broken Phone Booth with Money in My Hand" by Bruce Cockburn, from his 1978 album Further Adventures Of.[1][2]

“It took five years for the first record to come out, and now four years later here we are again," a relieved O'Connor said. "Whether it's the greatest record in the world, who knows, but it's as good as most stuff out there.”

This song is fine. I agree it's proto moby "play." The subsequent post listing 10 artists who don't sound like this song is stupid.
