oh alright, it was creep.
Any way, lots of good stuff to come tomorrow....
― Mark G, Tuesday, 30 April 2013 21:56 (eleven years ago) link
Creep, huh? That's pretty surprising. It's a pretty good song, but I certainly didn't ever consider voting for it.

I preferred Hey Luciani from that era, but I'm not expecting that to make top 10.

Don't recall hearing "Weather Report 2" before today. Now realising I should probably have paid more attention to YFOC generally.

it's really good!

it's amazing. as said upthread I'm really regretting leaving Mexico Wax Solvent off my rushed ballot - it'd probably be in the top 15. but yeah the whole album is probably the loosest, rangiest, Krautiest thing they've done other than PBL, and it has no real weak spots. plus Weather Report 2 is just utterly beautiful

Streaming most of it now, it does indeed sound solid! Boy, is my face red.
Speaking of slow-burning album-closers, I was under the impression "Disney's Dream Debased" was widely beloved. Not top 10 material but...

Am kicking myself for forgetting Disney Dream Debased

Disney's Dream Debased just was crowded off my ballot as much as I like song.

Reading this talk about Wings is making me optimistic!
unless the aforementioned lay of the land places - i don't think it will - that means no bulbs is the only wonderful and frightening track to place. i have a disliking for no bulbs, mostly thanks to its position at the end of the cd. coming after the lovely disney's dream debased it's quite jarring ... and then draaaaags on.
― fit and working again, Wednesday, 1 May 2013 01:26 (eleven years ago) link
Well, no bulbs is a bonus track. DDD should be the last track.
And no bulbs is amazing! The highest brix-era track on my ballot, I think
― herr doktor (askance johnson), Wednesday, 1 May 2013 01:37 (eleven years ago) link
yeah i know it was tacked on the end but i think for most people the cd tracklistings for the beggars albums *are* the albums. i can enjoy no bulbs out of that context.
― fit and working again, Wednesday, 1 May 2013 01:50 (eleven years ago) link
nah, i always think of no bulbs as being a call for escape route track. 3 versions! two for the pricea! w slang king and draygo!
shit, that's far and away my favorite fall record, and i didn't even vote for it :(

FWIW, No Bulbs was on the original US vinyl of W&F. I always thought it made a good opening to side 2 (which is where it was when I first heard it). Bummed that Bug Day didn't make the cut.
― dlp9001, Wednesday, 1 May 2013 02:18 (eleven years ago) link
It's a bit sad. I can imagine happily including almost any of these W&FTOTF-and-associated tracks in a top thirty ("Oh! Brother" too). That old 16-track CD issue is surely amongst my most played discs. As it is I only squeezed "Disney" in.
― Nag! Nag! Nag!, Wednesday, 1 May 2013 03:17 (eleven years ago) link
W&FWOTF rather.
― Nag! Nag! Nag!, Wednesday, 1 May 2013 03:19 (eleven years ago) link
yeah, i placed it second on my albums ballot. it's the album that took me the longest to get into though. i had the cassette originally, and all those tracks were just *too much* to take in.
― fit and working again, Wednesday, 1 May 2013 04:04 (eleven years ago) link
i'd forgotten the love for no bulbs.
― fit and working again, Wednesday, 1 May 2013 04:15 (eleven years ago) link
so nice that every track from that album got a vote there. I was the lone vote there for "Stephen Song", which just barely missed my ballot here (yet I put "No Bulbs" on this time, go figure).
― Flat Of NAGLs (sleeve), Wednesday, 1 May 2013 04:20 (eleven years ago) link
and like dlp the US PVC LP version of this is what I fell in love with initially, the cassette came later.
― Flat Of NAGLs (sleeve), Wednesday, 1 May 2013 04:22 (eleven years ago) link
argh "this" being Wonderful & Frightening" etc., g'night.
Yeah, I got W&Fetc on cassette, and No Bulbs is um in the middle I think.

You know, I post one, with a nice pic of tangential relevance, we have a bit of a chat about it, and 30 mins later I post another one.

Ha! Was literally just now listening to that song. Which version's better? They both are. I SWEAR

Was also listening to this one earlier. Introduced my wife to it and Garden in excited anticipation. She declared that she was starting to think that 'The Fall are geniuses'. Where Garden is paranoid incantation, this is declamatory steamroller.
