Shining a "Light" on Some New Spree

Yeah, sure, fine -- we've spent a lotta time pimping that forthcoming Polyphonic Spree disc. Guess it makes up for all those years I spent dogging Tripping Daisy (wasn't a fan till Jesus Hits Like the Atom Bomb, which wasn't a bad place to become a convert). But Chris Cantalini...

But is it me, or does that guitar riff in there sound a little like "Orange Crush"? Just sayin'. Or askin', actually. --Robert Wilonsky
