The Clean -- "Point That Thing Somewhere Else"
In their early years, this band had several sounds -- the retro garage beat of songs like "Tally-Ho" and "Beatnik," the punk squall of "Scrap Music" and "Oddity," and then the Joy Division-esque post-punk of this song. They did all of it quite well, too, and had some songs that didn't fit into any of these categories. David Kilgour manages somehow to make a lot of noise on the guitar here, mostly on just one or two strings. Hamish Kilgour keeps a lean beat. At 5:28, this is one of The Clean's longer tracks, but it's well worth the investment of your time.
