Icon unreleased tracks / You Ain't No Picasso

Maybe it's the nostalgia - but I still think this is an absolutely fantastic track. The distillation of everything Bishop Allen was doing in early 2000s - smart, catchy, irreverant and ear wormy. But it also seems the band didn't care for it. Here is a post from the now defunct bishopallen.com/board - from a poster named TheGibson on Feb 26, 2004 -

Quite some time ago I also asked about this song and received this reply:

"That song was written by us and recorded by us a while ago. It's not on the lyrics page because it doesn't appear on our record, and we've never played it live. We're still not sure what to do with it. Who knows.

Hope all's well."

Lovely. Later I got another reply, I'm guessing they were both doing email duty at the time (or I sent it to two addresses just in case, me being dumb).

"That songs from an OLD demo, and we've kind of disowned it..."
