Damn, Stingray. I have disagreed with most of your comments over the years, but this is objectively fucking hilarious.

Saw them with Muse. Good group. The guy has a higher voice and the woman has a strong voice.

A lovely set tonight, Maestro: subtle segues between tracks with similarly subtle themes. Delightful!

Thank you, Bill.

Please tell me you were just being humorous, because if you're serious, I'm afraid I shall be forced to call you an ignorant jerk.
"Big-boned" does NOT mean "fat." I have a friend who's almost six feet tall, and she's "big-boned," meaning she could probably arm-wrestle your sorry ass into the dirt. She's slender, but she has a hard time finding women's watch bands that will fit around her wrist, although there's not an ounce of fat on her. She has big bones, not skinny, brittle little bird-bones. And when the world's about to end, I want her on MY team.
You? Um, not so much.
Just came across this old post. Cynaera doing her inimitable thing, much to my liking, btw.
Anyway, I have this friend, she is big boned, she used to be Arnie muscled and rowed in the Olympics (to a silver medal, no less) then got injured and went to fat. Yes, fat. Well, new episode, I saw her 2 weeks ago at the gymn, she is back to being big boned. For my money, she looks really good. And yes, she towers over me, is a lawyer, but I still like her, too.

I like the destroyed sound of his voice. And, as others have mentioned, the drumming is cool.
Also, the lead singer was great in the way-too-short "My So-Called Life" series.
I don't actually care what the haters say.

This is OK, but Lazy Eye - the one that first burst onto RP and got me into them - is way more rocking, yet almost never played nowadays.

How can this band be so bad?
I mean, I hear a lot of soulless contrived bullshit on here, but these clowns take the cake.
Awful
Post note- I just looked them up - they're from LA

I'm not sure what happened,but this has gone from a 2 on first few listens, and now I'm really digging these guys, to 7 for now.
So good, love this tune and the rest of their music. Nice start this evening :)
Love me some SSPU....

Hilarious. Reminds me of a story about the female lead singer of the Scissor Sisters (a big boned but attractive woman). She would enter Drag Queen contests and win time after time. Everyone thought she was a man the whole time.

Ten. Could be just a phase. May be a nine in 3 months or so.

Another great artist discovered because of RP. Bought this album and totally enjoyed it. The new Rock Band 2 has this tune on it. Great to see my kids get into playing it.
So far, this is the only song of theirs I actually like.
fits my mood today

I've seen them three times, and I think they put on a great show, with good energy and musicianship. Hell, they opened for Wolfmother and not only survived but had the crowd revved up. That's got to be better than my endorsement!The Rusted Wheel as a metaphor for being stuck in a rut. Sorry, did I write that out loud?
Sorry, did I write that out loud?Like others, I was surprised to learn this was a male singer, but that doesn't stop me from liking the song. I just like the way the whole song is crafted. It's in pretty heavy rotation right now on the CD player in my woodshop.
I always like this album cover, it reminds me of a fountain made of paperclips!

This song rescues these guys from being a one hit wonder.
Phenomenal.
I might actually have to pickup some Pickups...
The more I hear from this band, the more I feel like I may have to go procure their album. Fresh and original sounding imho. 
Excellent song....Should be followed by Wheel from High Violets

According to another website....: ...."it's about standing still while time and the world passes you by, about not being able to move on in life. It's about having dreams that you can see but can't grasp..."so you can't hold a star in your hand though at least you can hold on to another plan" You can't reach them but at least you have a plan. The "rusted wheel planted still" is a metaphor for a person standing still. Picture an old rusted wheel planted in the ground (some people actually have these in their yards/gardens), the song goes through seasons, summer and winter while the rusted wheel is planted still. The end of the song changes the lyrics to "so you can't hold a star in your hand though at least you can move on to that better plan rusted wheel planted still, rusted wheel can't move on". I catch a hint of sarcasm and sadness with these lines. It's like saying yeah you have a plan, a dream, but you can't go forward, you can't move on.
Christ that sounds like everyone I know....including me....This song gets better upon re-hearing. The rest of the album .. not so much. Le sigh. Anybody want a slight used copy?

Must be about being stuck in life like a rusted wheel, I guess, unless it's about not being able to hold a star in your hand because the surface temperature is too scalding hot, and science has yet to solve that problem as latex gloves don't protect your hands well enough.

This has taken a while but it is really growing on me.
According to another website....:
...."it's about standing still while time and the world passes you by, about not being able to move on in life. It's about having dreams that you can see but can't grasp..."so you can't hold a star in your hand though at least you can hold on to another plan" You can't reach them but at least you have a plan. The "rusted wheel planted still" is a metaphor for a person standing still. Picture an old rusted wheel planted in the ground (some people actually have these in their yards/gardens), the song goes through seasons, summer and winter while the rusted wheel is planted still. The end of the song changes the lyrics to "so you can't hold a star in your hand though at least you can move on to that better plan rusted wheel planted still, rusted wheel can't move on". I catch a hint of sarcasm and sadness with these lines. It's like saying yeah you have a plan, a dream, but you can't go forward, you can't move on.

Ah, sweet. Finally I can turn the mute button off. Thanks for this one, Bill.

Lyrics:
So you can't hold a star in your hand though
at least you can hold on to another plan
rusted wheel planted still
i can tell it's summer from the
size of the bugs that fly through my window
flying through my window
rusted wheel planted still
rusted wheel can't move on
i can tell it's winter from the
size of the lump in my throat
got a lump in my throat
rusted wheel planted still
rusted wheel can't move on
and it feels just like the ground
but trapped in another way
just still in the ground
and it feels just like the ground
and trapped in another way
just still in the ground
so you can't hold a star in your hand though
at least you can move on to that better plan
rusted wheel planted still
rusted wheel can't move on...
