It's always inspiring to hear Steve go so gleefully and casually against the long, long moralistic strain in American storytelling that demands all sinners be punished. I can almost hear blue noses from Cotton Mather to Joseph Breen grinding their teeth every time I hear that line.wwolfenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36596203.post-2537851952027353482011-02-27T05:43:30.780-08:002011-02-27T05:43:30.780-08:00"Mean Mister Mustard Seed," although a g..."Mean Mister Mustard Seed," although a great fit on "Abbey Road" was easily topped by the harrowing, haunting, Rutlesesque "Cheese And Onions." And it is quite Rutlesesque, since it was done The Rutles.<br /><br />Holly, didn't Billy Joel "sample" a bit of "Pressure" somewhere along the way?<br /><br />Apropos of nothing, Holly, I just, after all these years (having purchased the original vinyl at Buzzo's Bandits music store in Geneseo, NY) have heard "On The Outside," a piece that didn't make it to the 1977 "Sleepwalker" album.<br /><br />This cut is vintage...it immediately has become if not an all time top ten Kinks, well at least an all time top twenty-five<br />Kinks for me.

I do think it's Ray trying to embrace that 80s sound (prescient, since it was 1979 :-) ). The song is kind of thin and boring. Low Budget has many fine songs, but it's never ranked among my favorites. I like just about all of the other Arista's better.Dave K.https://www.blogger.com/profile/08668643943311621856noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36596203.post-67570504346876251732011-02-26T12:46:01.438-08:002011-02-26T12:46:01.438-08:00This comment has been removed by the author.Dave K.https://www.blogger.com/profile/08668643943311621856noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36596203.post-9074430027813352912011-02-26T12:42:50.435-08:002011-02-26T12:42:50.435-08:00I've always been a huge fan of the entire Low ...I've always been a huge fan of the entire <i>Low Budget</i> album. Even though it's hard to touch their 60s stuff, the Kinks really kicked it into high gear on this record.Alexhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13372496375739714441noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36596203.post-77990952457087448652011-02-26T10:58:48.690-08:002011-02-26T10:58:48.690-08:00I like your take on Pressure...I was never too sur...I like your take on Pressure...I was never too sure what I thought of that song.
