What's not to like about "Surf's Up Tonight", Oilman?  Big, fat, lazy sound, splashy references ...

And "One too many times".  A simple ditty.  Restrained.  Seeps into one's day and memory, fills up every corner like it's born in black and white...

Breathe's funny - seems to be the least liked MO album on the Powdies list. I must admit that everytime I hear it I like it more - Sins of omission is great, with that menacing intro. I even like the rolling guitar picking sounds at the intro (and other points) of One too many times.

You're not the only one who likes it, but that 
album sure had some clunkers. Surfs Up Tonight and One Too Many Times are my least favorite Oils songs.

A dark silhouette flashes by in the wet
It is glistening flesh in the deep marine...
 
And from previous posts I realise I'm probably in a minority of one, but I love this song!
