Let's Get It Together

Orange Juice - Poor Old Soul, Pt. 1There's really no one who puts their guitars to better use than Orange Juice. [Copyright 2010, all rights reserved under the Terrible Slogans Act of 1953]. "Poor Old Soul, Pt. 1" is one of their best, I think, because it showcases all the great aspects of the band's music: Collins' arch vocals and clever lyrics, the lively rhythm section of Daly and McClymont, and the painterly application of guitars--which in some cases it's difficult to tell how they arrived at the parts they wrote and recorded (via algorithm? endless jams? blackboard equations?). This is definitely one of those songs that, if you give it the chance, will change your brain chemistry, making you happy on a bad day, and making you even happier on a good day. Also fun to dance to.[Buy the Glasgow School]
