Re: Sublime Moments.
Going Underground, that bit where Weller sings, "these braying sheep on my tv screen make this boy shout, make this boy scream", then goes into a serious key change and that searing guitar lick comes in.

Re: Sublime Moments.
Keep in mind that I love the song—an undeniable classic in Weller's ledger—but I don't care for Foxton's echoing Weller's “going underground” line. There's something wimpy about it coming after Weller snarling. Shut up, bass guy, and let the guy with the increasingly bad haircuts do his thing.

Re: Sublime Moments.
If you are unaware of this you will be amazed at the sublimeness of the Merry Clayton vocal at 2:30 in the clip. I don't even know if sublime is the word for this but it gives me chills every time I hear it.....
