Whizzy's Canvas - "Wave". There's something of the sunset in this song. I should know: I saw the sunset tonight, sinking over pale blue waves. Palm trees wagged in the breeze. Torches glowed. Whizzy's Canvas approach this song with the patience of the international date line. They will not be harried. They will not be hurried. They are playing their "Wave" at the tempo of the blood that pumps through their veins, and the blood's pumping slowly, maybe because they sat and watched the sunset, those wagging palmtrees. I can't decide if this song sounds more like Yo La Tengo or Blind Melon or a Yellow Submarine B-side, but I know it sounds like a slide-show: all of us cozy in a darkened den, one panorama after another, lit up from the carousel.
