Endlessly rewarding to listen to, Berman was always a little jaded under the witticisms under the umbrella of his work frontmanning Silver Jews and it ends up taking the forefront here rather than adding some personal flavor to his amazing sense of humor.

This reminds me of my boyhood, when I had a mad crush on Olivia Newton-John. 🎵If you love me, let me know, if you don't, then let me go🎶 "Sugar and Spice" popped up, first, on a moody dream pop Pandora station, though "Bad Guy" fits that station even better. I was surprised how much I enjoyed these charming Abba-esque/Top 40 type confections, and perhaps my Pandora station is far more interesting when it goes from I Break Horses' "Death Engine" to "Sugar and Spice." pardero
