It's a fun song to sing. I even do Frank's high "aaaa-oooooo"s at the end. I probably sound really bad.

And yes, the claps are a great touch.

The second-best song Frank has ever written, in my opinion (the best being "Parry the Wind High, Low"). Everything about this song is just perfect!

A great song, really Teenageresque in its 'attitude'.

Seriously? It's on Black Letter Days, and it's as good as they say.

Hmm...I don't have the song handy, but is that by any chance the "Revealing caffeine ghosts, and giving up its gasoline" part? That's my favorite part.

JBR is an amazingly catchy song. And yes, seriously underrated.

the way it builds up, the way it's produced
various instruments coming from all corners
Production wise a great achievement, don't forget it's done live!

One of the underrated sons on a underrated record
