i pushed the songs i wanted to get more votes to the top of my ballot but in retrospect it may backfire w a 20 song ballot

my side project voting ended up being only boys next door & birthday party, i couldnt spare room for grinderman! it just totally paled for me up against all that cool old stuff

ALRIGHT FOLKS

after several weeks poking at it, I've broken down, ordered and ID3-tagged the Bad Seeds-era b-sides and side-appearances into an eleven-disc* virtual box set. Now to start listening properly, and then on to the albums!

* if actually pressing this, we could save money by putting "Scum & Pricks '84-86" and "Dirty Sings '88" onto one disc. But I've also made a disc each of live B-sides, alternate takes, and 7" versions, that I shan't be considering for the poll.

"Scum" sure as hell made my ballot!

Scum is an entertaining song, but so irredeemably & unjustifiably vicious toward Snow and Gambotto that I couldn't commend it

huge rant (sic), Saturday, 12 December 2020 18:42 (three years ago) link

I voted for "Scum". I can almost pretend it's Mark E Smith singing, with that kind of subject matter and delivery-uh.

Nag! Nag! Nag!, Sunday, 13 December 2020 21:15 (three years ago) link

So, I think we’re down to the last day or so for voting. I’ll be loose with it if it means more ballots.

Please keep ‘em coming!

charlie rex, Monday, 14 December 2020 07:19 (three years ago) link

I'll dawdle as long as we can, for one.

also onimo's first act on waking up from cancer surgery the other day was to post to the "fuck cancer" thread his regret that he might not be able to put a ballot together

huge rant (sic), Monday, 14 December 2020 07:40 (three years ago) link

well, I’m certainly happy to ride this out as long as we need to (I still have a lot of listening to do, myself).

It’s been a Push the Sky Away day today.

charlie rex, Monday, 14 December 2020 07:53 (three years ago) link

If this could be extended for a few days I’d appreciate it!

Really digging “Nocturama” this time around- Warren Ellis is particularly has a great showcase through it. Back 3 tracks are probably not that great but doesn’t seem any worse than some of the material on AB/TLoO.

I'm NOT Going to Tell You About a POLL

sarahell, Monday, 14 December 2020 19:31 (three years ago) link

If I may be obvious, The Boatman's POLL should be the title of something at least once in its life.

might as well go with A Box for Black POLL

Very inspired work re. results title suggestions.

As long as I can bang all this out by Christmas, I don’t mind extending voting for a couple more days.

So keep listening & sending in the ballots!

charlie rex, Monday, 14 December 2020 23:04 (three years ago) link

monstrous bass playing on so many of these Birthday Party tracks. always identified it as the nucleus of the band's sound, but kinda needed the reminder.

charlie rex, Tuesday, 15 December 2020 06:06 (three years ago) link

That bassist had funny habits, I always thought you felt the bass more than heard it

that clip is positively amazing. love how Mick just stands there quietly offsetting everything.

charlie rex, Tuesday, 15 December 2020 12:07 (three years ago) link

that clip is the best. god i miss rowland and tracey.

stirmonster, Tuesday, 15 December 2020 13:17 (three years ago) link

would love it if there was a lot more visual stuff available.
Good that the Minneapolis set appeared. I think the band thought their US tour almost immediately prior to eventual implosion was their peak

Stevolende, Tuesday, 15 December 2020 14:10 (three years ago) link

Gotta love a band that goes out at its peak.

Still time to vote! Would be great to get a few more.

charlie rex, Wednesday, 16 December 2020 00:11 (three years ago) link

yes, my ballot is coming

la table sur la table (voodoo chili), Wednesday, 16 December 2020 00:11 (three years ago) link
