The Barracudas have released a good number of records over the years, progressing from an obviously retro 60s garage look and sound to a more traditional power pop sound that I suppose is equally retro, but never mind that. Everything I've ever heard by this band is worth picking up. When I first heard this song in the mid-80s it didn't seem that different than the popular "rock" music, and I wondered why I never heard songs like this or "Bigger Stones" by the Beat Farmers, or "White Lies" by Jason and the Scorchers on the radio. Which is, I suppose, why I like the iPod so much; on shuffle play, you can pretty much make it simulate a radio station where the top 40 chart dovetails perfectly with your taste and internal logic, and the world becomes a much more sympathetic place, at least until you take the headphones off.
