  • I saw it on you tube. It gave me the idea to start this thread. Did not get the chance to go to Wrigley, but I am going to both TOTD shows in Philly.

    It's so weird I had literally listened to time has come today 5x last week. Heard it on Underfround garage, remembered that Brendan Benson walked on stage to it when I saw him a few years back, then listened to the single and full album versions a handful of times to decide which I liked better. Im usually not much for single edits, but 10 minutes of that one might be too much!!!! It's a solid jam of a tune though!

    Okay, so I can't undo saying this: Ace of Base...it was bought for me as a Christmas gift...but I did ask for it. First CD I bought on my own was White Zombie: Astro Creep 2000 or was it the Toadies?
