Sweet Oblivion: B-Side Of The Week: Idlewild

Scotland's Idlewild has cranked out consistently awesome music for the bulk of their career. Fans know that they record b-sides that are often as good as their album tracks, and I've made a practice of putting together compilation albums of each proper record's b-sides when I've collected all the singles. These companion albums make for some great listening, and so I decided that this week's b-side of the week would come from Idlewild.

"Great Times Wasted" was released on part 1 of the "Live In A Hiding Place" singles from 2002's phenomenal full-length, The Remote Part. The song could've fit right in on the record, so if this tune suits your fancy, please do yourself the favor of picking up The Remote Part.
