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."

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.
"Take Me..." is very Eno, isn't it?
"Another Nail in My Heart" please. My absolute favorite Squeeze tune.
OH - I love this guy ... I actually did get to see Squeeze back in the 80s .... mwaa mwaa ...
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!
