Love the single but I wish they'd done something with the bridge / instrumental break section that "isn't". It's like there's something that's meant to be there - a cool film sample, guitar / synth / theremin solo, a haiku in Klingon, existential robot cats meowing Kafka, the sound of the universe imploding, etc - but the band couldn't decide what or just forgot to finish it so it got left "bare".

It's weirdly noticably sparse. Nothing happens except a little bass doodle and mild embarrassment for all concerned.

I thought WMTTB was at #99 for one day and then dropped straight out, so surely that means that it didn't chart?

More, I'm led to believe, than those during the glory days of Napster, Kazaa etc. when the legal online stores hadn't quite gotten their act together.

Wouldn't go as far as cassette, but otherwise wholeheartedly agree with this. If I'm paying for music, I want to be able to hold it.
