"Why Don't You Spare A Minute Of Your Precious Time,

and if there's nothing in it; I don't mind." It's only been about four days of constant repetitive listening, but I feel like I can confidently say that I could listen to this song forever. The song is song called "Confession" by a band called The Anyways – a band that I'll never be able to thank Chris – from Heaven Is Above Your Head (and the late great The Rain Fell Down) – enough for introducing me to. Their song "Silver" appeared on the first Sound of Leamington Spa comp, but "Confession" – their very first single, released on Notown Records in 1987 – is easily their best, and one of indiepop's best ever, for sure. Please be aware that once you hear it, you're not going to want to listen to anything else for days. A few members, along with Angus from the Razorcuts, even went on to form a band called The Relationships and they're still playing and recording today!

[MP3]: The Anyways :: Confession (Very Highly Recommennnnnnnnded!)
