This song completely blew me away when i first heard it in my car driving back from the Newbury Comics in Shrewsbury MA where I bought it day of release. The next day I drove to Tower Records in Boston (RIP) and waited for two hours on a line to meet Andy at a signing. I asked him if Apple Venus 2 would sound like "Go 2" and he got somewhat offended. I had to wait for Franz Ferdinand et al to get my modern Go 2 fix 5 years later.
While they were on my radar with the Generals and Majors song it wasn't until the Skylarking album came out that I truly became a fan. I bought it on CASSETTE!!!
