Reminding me of that bit from Sleeper.
Didn't Venus move from 8th Street near 6th Avenue over to St. Marks Place where it hung on for a while?
― Pazz & Jop 1280 (James Redd and the Blecchs), Sunday, 10 November 2013 14:26 (twelve years ago)
yeah
― eclectic husbandry (Dr Morbius), Sunday, 10 November 2013 14:27 (twelve years ago)
now BLEEEEEED for me
― eclectic husbandry (Dr Morbius), Sunday, 10 November 2013 14:29 (twelve years ago)
Venus was on St Marks for the better part of a decade, i think?
Yes. I guess those decades flew by fast.

hey Yo La Tengo uses opening bass riff of "European Son" in "Moby Octopad"
― eclectic husbandry (Dr Morbius), Sunday, 10 November 2013 15:08 (twelve years ago)
... and Julian Cope pointed out the similarity between it and the bass at the start of Can's "Father Cannot Yell"
― Thomas K Amphong (Tom D.), Sunday, 10 November 2013 15:17 (twelve years ago)
Clinic used the bassline as well

Are you excited to find out Heroin as the winner in a couple if hours?
― nostormo, Sunday, 10 November 2013 18:51 (twelve years ago)
no that would be as boring as hell
― OutdoorFish, Sunday, 10 November 2013 19:57 (twelve years ago)
not my vote
― eclectic husbandry (Dr Morbius), Sunday, 10 November 2013 20:05 (twelve years ago)
I would have possibly voted for it when I was 16
― OutdoorFish, Sunday, 10 November 2013 21:12 (twelve years ago)
Are the results in yet?
― Pazz & Jop 1280 (James Redd and the Blecchs), Sunday, 10 November 2013 21:19 (twelve years ago)
No. But a source leaked me the results and it's Femme .what did you do ilm?!
― nostormo, Sunday, 10 November 2013 22:16 (twelve years ago)
hey white boy, what you doin' uptown?

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.
― System, Monday, 11 November 2013 00:01 (twelve years ago)
excellent choice
― OutdoorFish, Monday, 11 November 2013 00:07 (twelve years ago)
you better hit 'er
― OutdoorFish, Monday, 11 November 2013 00:09 (twelve years ago)
it's all because i said Heroin will win.some wise guys decided to deliberately choose Waiting.i control the world.
― nostormo, Monday, 11 November 2013 00:10 (twelve years ago)
Black Angel should be higher imo
― nostormo, Monday, 11 November 2013 00:11 (twelve years ago)
I voted mirror, but I love waiting nevertheless
― OutdoorFish, Monday, 11 November 2013 00:17 (twelve years ago)
you have patience
― nostormo, Monday, 11 November 2013 00:19 (twelve years ago)
and I love my own reflection
― OutdoorFish, Monday, 11 November 2013 00:20 (twelve years ago)
Although I voted BADS I wish I Run Run Run was higher. Great poll though.
― Dick Townwolves (Captain Ahab), Monday, 11 November 2013 03:00 (twelve years ago)
pleased at the winner, wish "Femme Fatale" were higher
― Guayaquil (eephus!), Monday, 11 November 2013 04:38 (twelve years ago)
In retrospect, wish I'd thrown "There She Goes Again" a bone.
― Has talent, needs to figure out how to improve (staggerlee), Monday, 11 November 2013 04:55 (twelve years ago)
YES
― eclectic husbandry (Dr Morbius), Monday, 11 November 2013 06:41 (twelve years ago)
is this the most popular poll ever? (166 votes)
― nostormo, Monday, 11 November 2013 07:36 (twelve years ago)
after much relistening lately, gotta say this is one of those meat in the middle albums. 4-7 such an amazing stretch of songwriting-soundmaking
― Pressgang Wolf (Jon Lewis), Monday, 11 November 2013 19:29 (twelve years ago)
4-7 1-11 such an amazing stretch of songwriting-soundmaking
― nostormo, Monday, 11 November 2013 19:50 (twelve years ago)
i'm surprised Heroin's so high (even though i love it & no pun intended) and Femme's so low. agree about the winner though

― I can still taste the Taboo in my mouth when I hear those songs (Scik Mouthy), Monday, 11 November 2013 21:41 (twelve years ago)
I thought for sure this would be one of those polls with no option shut out. "There She Goes Again" would be the best song of most other people's careers.
― Guayaquil (eephus!), Tuesday, 12 November 2013 01:38 (twelve years ago)
Yup
― Pazz & Jop 1280 (James Redd and the Blecchs), Tuesday, 12 November 2013 01:47 (twelve years ago)
especially for Marvin Gaye and the Stones.

what about the Las?
― OutdoorFish, Tuesday, 12 November 2013 11:38 (twelve years ago)
It's incredible how a song as stupid as "Venus in Furs" ranks among the sexiest songs ever. I need more viola scraping and Lou shouting SEVERIN in my life, clearly

it's the caustic drone, they could be singing about types of mushrooms and I'd still be there

looks pretty boring, but maybe some of these people will try something interesting? doubtful!
― tylerw, Wednesday, 14 July 2021 20:09 (four years ago)
I can totally imagine CB doing "I'll Be Your Mirror"; should be great (I'll probably skip the rest).
― aging goth couple™ (morrisp), Wednesday, 14 July 2021 20:33 (four years ago)
Are we doing tribute records again? Aren't there enough regular records no one is interested in?
― chr1sb3singer, Wednesday, 14 July 2021 20:39 (four years ago)
I would have thought they'd have roped Cale and Tucker in here somehow.
