Unfreezing Squeeze
Thursday, September 18, 2008
Starting in the late 1970s, the British pop band Squeeze had a successful run that yielded hits like "Tempted," "Take Me I'm Yours" and "Pulling Mussels (From the Shell)." At the core of the group was a songwriting duo. One-half of that team, Chris Difford, joins us to talk about recharging the reunited group's batteries for a new live album, "Five Live in America."

I wonder why WNYC doesn't provide free tickets for a few members like KCRW does when they have musicians on Morning Becomes Eclectic promoting tours. Get it together, Soundcheck staffers!
OH - I love this guy ... I actually did get to see Squeeze back in the 80s .... mwaa mwaa ...
"Another Nail in My Heart" please. My absolute favorite Squeeze tune.
"Take Me..." is very Eno, isn't it?
Why is John fawning over Chris Difford like a teenage fan? Squeeze made a lot of good pop songs but let's not overstate their brilliance.
