irrational musical obsession of the day

Also courtesy Mirabai, but I don't know why I can't stop listening to it, actually I do, but it's odd and convoluted:

You just Haven't Earned It Yet, Kirsty MacColl version

1: Actually, if Completely/Exactly isn't a fruitful track to go down, listen to Hackensack and tell me what you think of that instead. It's a song I had to listen to several times before it started punching me in the kidneys, and for all I know, you may be immune to it, as someone who's in the process of freeing herself from that particular nightmare. Completely/Exactly is fun as a screed anthem; it troubled me because it seemed to be a good one, but not one that matched my own personal brand of bile. I can't seem to sing along to it, so I thought I'd try to find someone who could. If it ain't you, no worries. Hackensack, though... I dunno. You + It = Bas-relief.

2: In his coat and his boots and his blackheart machine!

3: Hard to say. I've got four songs of theirs from a couple samplers, but only one other besides Raaven that I really love. The other two are ok but not as much my thing, and they're all in markedly different styles. So I dunno. I have heard pretty good reports about them from other sources, though. I bet you anything Tower has a selection. I am curious, so I'd even go in with you if you want -- I'll pay half and rip it and you can keep the CD?
