"So Sad About Us" has been stuck in my head lately, such a perfect little pop gem, using that riff for maximum Pop impact. Written by Pete Townshend allegedly for The Merseys, Townshend's own version of it appeared on The Who's A Quick One While He's Away the same year. The Breeders' version is one of my favourites, and how I first heard the song, on their 1992 Safari EP (the only Breeders release to feature both Kelley Deal and Tanya Donelly).
