Here’s a great song, – a song of the moment, if you will …- and it’s by that great Dublin band, Bell X1 (known for the hits Flame, Rocky Took A Lover, and the beautiful Eve, the Apple of my Eye – among others).
Yes, they sound very much like Talking Heads here, but yes, I LIKE Talking Heads, so since when is that a bad thing? 
This song, which is getting great airplay (on Phantom anyway) is the live version of The Great Defector, recorded in Dublin:

But but but –
It was so great the first few times I heard it, and now it’s on every radio station every hour (I likes radio) and now I’m in danger of getting very sick of it. Like every other great song they had. It becomes pants in a matter of weeks purely because of overplay
