Be very afraid.
I think our European friends have been through this already, but the
local pop stations have latched on to this with the sort of ferocity
usually reserved for records by long-haired-sweaty-mens (pronounce this
like Blaine from "In Living Color")... It's getting hourly airplay
around here, which is of course quite a lot for a track that pretty
firmly falls into the "cute the first time I heard it / annoying as all
hell the tenth time" category. The Grid have released their fair share
of solid, competent records: this is not one of them.
