Shiner for me - a Touch and Go great...

I was tempted to vote Shiner at 1st. But I listened to the album again and made my choice.

they had a song besides "the everyday world of bodies"? huh.

I think that to a certain extent, the album's reputation is solely due to "EWOB." I like "Shiner," too, but I don't think this album is quite so well remembered if it'd been released without "Everyday World of Bodies."

If anyone were laying odds at ilxor on poll results, I'd take 1:3 on the long song.

Actually, now that I think of it, my second favorite track from these people might be "Darjeeling."

A bit late here. But did a search on Rodan- after just getting a hat trick with their 12 minute winner ^^^

Slint was in there being from Louisville and all, but these truckers took it further.

Anybody else see them at Duchess (RIP)?

man. hadn't thought of this one in forever. buying it was a real moment for me - it sounded so different and apart at the time, and it felt alien to me but also like it was part of something growing & vital. I didn't know anything about the scene in Louisville or anything - it just sounded like some really focused effort from way out somewhere. Haven't heard it since '95 I think.

The Duchess of York? I saw them on the same tour in Brighton with Eggs and Tsunami and maybe someone else if I'm not misremembering things. Really fine band to see live. Album reminds me a bit of earlier Unrest, that same mix of gentle meets bent rage going on.

Anyone remember the UK band Gauge who I guess were named after the Rodan song? They were around at about the same time as Navigator and stuff like that. Solid band.

Nick B
Same tour!
- thanks for reminding me of those wonderful support bands too.
I was familiar w Tsunami but Eggs were an added bonus

I was thinking of Rodan when reading the Emo thread / Braid vs Promise Ring vs Get Up Kids thread. I hadn't / haven't listened to any of those emo albums and thought a lot while reading them about the alternate version of age 17-22 when it was instead about Polvo, Rodan, June of 44, Eric's Trip

Anyway this album is the best thing
