going through it all now....
Up In It is great, standout cuts are definitely Hey Cuz & I Know Your Little Secret.
omg rhythm section on I'm Her Slave and Turn On The Water so amazing. John Curley probably the best rock bassist of the 90s?

fuck and Conjure Me. oh god it's one of those polls where I listen through and just make a note of every single song on some albums and just cry at having to get the poll down to a reasonable length.
― Hmmmmm (jamiesummerz), Wednesday, 26 May 2021 14:16 (three years ago) link
John Curley probably the best rock bassist of the 90s?
thats a bold claim but i was listening to Gentlemen a couple of days back, and was definitely struck by just how tight and punchy the bass tones are on that
― building a hole (NickB), Wednesday, 26 May 2021 14:32 (three years ago) link
for the sakes of that bold claim i am filing John Wm. Sims as 80s.

covers ballot? nearly as hard as tracks
― mellon collie and the infinite bradness (BradNelson), Wednesday, 26 May 2021 19:01 (three years ago) link
btw that frank ocean cover they did in 2012... is the best
― mellon collie and the infinite bradness (BradNelson), Wednesday, 26 May 2021 19:02 (three years ago) link
Right? I don't know how I'm going to vote in any of this.xp
― Blue Yoda No. 9 (James Redd and the Blecchs), Wednesday, 26 May 2021 19:02 (three years ago) link
does backbeat count for the covers poll? i assume yes
― mellon collie and the infinite bradness (BradNelson), Wednesday, 26 May 2021 19:22 (three years ago) link
not that i plan on voting for any of it lol
i am however definitely going to vote for "the temple" which is my favorite non-"miles iz dead" song on congregation
― mellon collie and the infinite bradness (BradNelson), Wednesday, 26 May 2021 19:36 (three years ago) link
Forgot about that, backbeat, I mean. How exactly is it relevant again?
― Blue Yoda No. 9 (James Redd and the Blecchs), Wednesday, 26 May 2021 19:37 (three years ago) link
Faded is great, Black Love is great overall, but its second half is really superb eh.
Also I agree with whoever was repping for Bonnie Brae upthread, it's gonna be high up on my list if I can find it a spot! Lockless too.

better than the original (which i like) by a lot imo
― the mai tai quinn (voodoo chili), Wednesday, 26 May 2021 19:38 (three years ago) link
always enjoyed the cheekiness of putting "train in vain" drums under their cover of "lost in the supermarket"
― the mai tai quinn (voodoo chili), Wednesday, 26 May 2021 19:39 (three years ago) link
and then singing "stand by me" and "train in vain" over the outro
― the mai tai quinn (voodoo chili), Wednesday, 26 May 2021 19:43 (three years ago) link
Cool, never heard that before!
― Blue Yoda No. 9 (James Redd and the Blecchs), Wednesday, 26 May 2021 19:51 (three years ago) link
I mean didn't know they covered that song, never mind the other stuff.
― Blue Yoda No. 9 (James Redd and the Blecchs), Wednesday, 26 May 2021 19:53 (three years ago) link
also highly recommend their cover of tlc's "creep"
― the mai tai quinn (voodoo chili), Wednesday, 26 May 2021 19:54 (three years ago) link
Cool again, thanks again.Does anyone stan for "Every Little Thing She Does is Magic"?

my favorite thing about their "creep" is that it isn't a transformation like some of their other cover version, but actually a very reverent, faithful rendition
― the mai tai quinn (voodoo chili), Wednesday, 26 May 2021 20:00 (three years ago) link
he does quite like to sing one song's lyrics over another song's music
eg touch me i'm sick/i touch myself/let it all hang out or mother/dr jimmy/ holocaust/in the mouth a desert during live versions of 'you my flower'
― mookieproof, Wednesday, 26 May 2021 20:10 (three years ago) link
does that all the time with his own songs too, mostly on opening tracks iirc
― building a hole (NickB), Wednesday, 26 May 2021 20:13 (three years ago) link
one song that the whigs haven't covered but definitely should is neil young's "powderfinger"
― the mai tai quinn (voodoo chili), Wednesday, 26 May 2021 20:26 (three years ago) link
yeah if you really want
their wiki page says the whigs did cover "like a hurricane" live in the past but i can't find any recordings
their "lost in a supermarket" cover is certainly one of my favourites, it's one where i could make the case it's better than the original, and the original is one of my very favourite clash songs too
― ufo, Wednesday, 26 May 2021 20:55 (three years ago) link
Backbeat soundtrack seems missing from streaming, although one can find the OCR of the musical version.

one last shout-out for late period whigs, "oriole" is the best song ever

The “Creep” cover is pretty faithful but is infected with this slightly ambiguous, tense undercurrent which is something that Dulli does with his covers so well
― Master of Treacle, Wednesday, 26 May 2021 22:34 (three years ago) link
It’s hidden on Zing, but MacZing still seems to have a bug, thought they were fixing it.

There is something about this band that is like The Band. They have these funky little grooves that they work to death, never quite just playing a simple, um, backbeat. Also, hope I don't type everything in think in the polling thread and run out of things to say on the rollout.

"esta noche" is such a cool track, the way it starts out with that two note electric piano bit that continues through the entire song and that eventually becomes part of the wall of sound where you kinda feel it more than anything else, and that jazzy crescendo rules so much. interestingly kamasi washington plays on it, one of his earlier session gigs. i don't understand the live versions at all though, it's sped up ridiculously and completely loses the groove
