― but I can't let Trae do it I got Huerter on my mind (Spottie)

Are you asking who Delia Derbyshire is or what this specific track is about, or both?

yeah both, thanks for the link!

ready or not should've been top ten we have failed

PE track another example of "mid-tier song on classic album that happens to be under two minutes" imo

yeah

xps Man I thought that was just the Doctor Who theme and Karl was just making TARDIS noises or something. But that is weird and awesome!

so this is what the dB's and Elastica sound like. cool!

A #1 vote for "Show 'Em Whatcha Got?"

I nominated "Ready or Not" but foolishly ended up cutting it from my ballot.

B&S reappears here, after adding in an additional vote:

you forget that whiney posts to ilx ;)

i would be a little surprised if whiney put that at #1

'Molly's Lips' an absolute classic. Vaselines were surprisingly good as grown-ass adults when I saw them play, seeing as their schtick was very much that of dorky kids dicking about.

liked this; didn't vote for it

I liked that song a lot too; I listened to the album it appears on for the first time last night. A little patchy but I will be revisiting

I don't really know that album well but early Boos stuff definitely includes some gorgeous tracks.

hell yeah

yeah don't fret about any tallying issues from the past, throw in any adjustments that fit, but just move on as we chant ZEDD ESS ZEDD ESS from the sidelines

This was my number 3. Totally perfect song.

It was also the alarm sound on my phone for a few years, so now it makes me even readier to fuck shit up than it already did

ballot result: one-way tie for 51st

xxp yes indeed

Also, I didn’t vote for Show Em What You Got, but it’s more than just a filler track. It’s classic Bomb Squad, and it eventually inspired one of the best songs on Da Drought 3

Yeah, i think people are overlooking that these rap interstitials are showcases for the producers, not the rappers.

Everything's Alright Forever is the only Boos album and only shoegaze album I really rate and it's all killer no filler imo.

"White Riot" was casualty of my self-imposed "max three songs per artist" rule, so I'm glad it made it.

Is this the 7" version or the LP version? On Discogs, the former is 1:58 and the latter 1.55. (I think the LP version is significantly better... but I didn't vote for it.)

this would be the LP version (listed as 1:56 on Spotify)

I voted Show Em Whatcha Got real high, top 5 for sure; it’s been my “get pumped the fuck up” song since the album came out.

re: junk - for people who don't dabble in solo beatles - this is good solo beatles

LP version of White Riot >>>>>> 7" version
