O-Positive - Overboard

Postby Grunch » Thu Jul 20, 2006 10:48 am

I've always been a sucker for catchy hooks and jangly guitars, and O-Positive did it as well as anyone. Their EP and LP were actually released together on CD years back, and I stumbled upon it at a Cheapos maybe 5 years ago or so. Chock full of jangly pop, it was nice to hear everything in perfectly pop-free form, though I'll never part with the vinyl!!

I can't keep up with everything you post, but I just wanted to say thanks for introducing me to some interesting new songs and bands.

Thanks, man. What's that song of theirs that goes "..Put a rope around my neck, give me a label, get me sick. I could love you. It's a suicide you choose..." If you could post that one, I would be much appreciative.

Yes, that's a great CD they put out. A friend of mine from Boston made me a tape of it in '89 or so. Kind of an early REM feel to it, IMHO. Thanks again Grunch.

Hey, Grunch, the song I'm looking for is called "With You". Any chance you could post it?

I can post "Up, Up, Up" but I'm sure Grunch's copy would be so much better. So, I won't bother [:D].

I have the song "Holding On To You" from O-Positive but it's a very slow song from them and I'm not sure if anyone would care for it.
