Best THINKING FELLERS UNION LOCAL 282 release

turkington reissued (rather than released) "midnight cowboys from ipanema", i think that was the only SCG release on amarillo.

several great TFUL282 shows are up now on D!meaD0zen.

Thank you so much for that. I wondered what happened to all those shoeboxes full of DATs and Hugh Swarts' twice-used Skoal Bandits. Just awesome -- the greatness just keeps breaching the levee on that St. Louis show.

yeah, that St. Louis show is the bomb. The sound is so much better than yer average bootleg recording.

I voted Strangers from the Universe, but Admonishing the Bishops is also perfect. I saw them give one of the great performances of the late-20th century at Lounge Ax in Chicago. I belive it was in 1993- the Cocktails opened.

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

Went with Admonishing The Bishops. It's the perfect EP release.

The skinniest sound is the siren's sound....

YO UNDERTAKER TABS PLZ

this thread made me load up the ipod with thinkin fellers. I think the Operation may be my favorite song ever.

I voted for Strangers based on my fondness for My Pal The Tortoise but in retrospect Mother of All Saints should win. Hornet's Heart and Tell Me are both amazing. This thread has reminded me how great TFUL 282 are. Are they still around?

I'm going for Bob Dinners, which is indeed totally slept on--holy crap, "You in a Movie"! "'91 Dodge Van"!!

Runner-up: Strangers, on the strength of the unbelievable "Socket."

Funeral Pudding for me, because of "Heavy Head," which is gorgeous.

'91 Dodge Van is my very favorite of all their songs by quite a margin. other amazing Bob Dinners songs include the crazed yammering of "The Barker" with its drop dead chorus, the glorious slow distortion of "Holy Ghost", the schizo Sparkle Like A Battery song or whatever the hell it's called, and that killer opening track.

They aren't exactly 'still around", but they play a show or two every 3 or 4 years.

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

Mother Of All Saints got the (piston and the) shaft.

I Hope It Lands really got shafted. (Granted, it was a bit imbalanced with too much of the practice material me thinks, but still, damn.)

But having a tie at the top, not to mention a really even distribution of votes more or less, is kinda satisfying. :-D

Also, the results make an excellent shopping list.

(actually Tangle got shafted too, but that's a slippery slope to defending everything here.)

Had I seen this poll I would have voted for Admonishing the Bishops

I'm currently in a Bob Dinner phase:
Could it be theirbest rrecord and I ignored it all those years?

I voted for it here in good conscience

TRIGGER TRIGGER TRIGEEEEER

Never heard either of these before, nice :)

Looks like their full discography (aside from a few singles) is finally available on streaming services.

The two short, unnamed noise tracks on MoAS (originally listed as "...") actually have titles now. Weird.

oh that's pretty cool, about time

Punks with Lunch are a rad group btw -- several of my friends are members (xp with the Antifa Meeting Thread) -- besides narcan, they also organize mutual aid efforts and free meals to homeless encampments and other vulnerable populations in Oakland and the greater SF Bay Area.

I just bought mine!

wtf

The trick is to order it and then fill it with a history of the band that is 100% lies.

Great idea. I hope this Laura Traugott does one for Caroliner too (maybe she has, I just can't be bothered to search through them all).
