Oh, that's the same one posted above. Sorry. Anyway, yeah, that song. It was my #5. Probably should have voted it higher.
Love "Youth Decay" too.

That first side is a marvel.

My #1. I love the big meaty riff and the sheer morass of the chorus, Corin howling in the back like a pack of wolves while Carrie deadpans a hook on top. It's one of those mystery songs to me, like how did human beings make this sound?
― something of an astrological coup (tipsy mothra), Tuesday, 29 April 2014 01:36 (ten years ago) link
Stay Where You Are is so great
― da croupier, Tuesday, 29 April 2014 02:41 (ten years ago) link
oh wow, i love The End of You. the sequence running from Carrie's spare semi-spoken chorus into the vine-like guitar interlude and back into Corin's fragile verse is one of my favourite stretches of music in all of S-K.

i guess big big lights was post DMO actually. its pretty well realized. surf song is apparently from the debut 7"? its hilarious
― wat is teh waht (s.clover), Tuesday, 29 April 2014 03:26 (ten years ago) link
Feel like tracks from AHOTBO are making a really strong showing, given where it landed in the albums poll.
― good and relaxing like akon dont matter (intheblanks), Tuesday, 29 April 2014 03:26 (ten years ago) link
listening through s/t now, which is better than i remembered. its weird how raw the lyrics are. i tend to think of them as a more refined, sort of oblique band even, lyrically, and then you have lyrics like: "Sold out, do, do you wanna it / On a magazine cover? / Take it, it's my body / Take it, I want money / Diamonds are a girl's best friend"
― wat is teh waht (s.clover), Tuesday, 29 April 2014 03:44 (ten years ago) link
I love that first 7", always thought they sounded a lot better on it than the subsequent 10"
― sonic thedgehod (albvivertine), Tuesday, 29 April 2014 04:10 (ten years ago) link
I was given the 10" as a review copy when it came out and I don't think I panned it but it wasn't what I was expecting having seen the two previous bands. I should try and dig that review up tonight.

― wat is teh waht (s.clover), Tuesday, 29 April 2014 15:43 (ten years ago) link
i remember "real man" was actually v. important to people i knew at the time. only 1000 ppl bought the debut 10" but all of them put "real man" on mixtapes for their queer friends?
― wat is teh waht (s.clover), Tuesday, 29 April 2014 15:49 (ten years ago) link
That was mean of them
― sonic thedgehod (albvivertine), Tuesday, 29 April 2014 15:54 (ten years ago) link
Uh I bought it bt didn't tape it for friends cos they'd already got that message (andit's a bad song)? Can see it's imptce at that time in specific places tho, f'sure. I ws in NZ tho, was kinda a "hey others!" thing
― sonic thedgehod (albvivertine), Tuesday, 29 April 2014 16:16 (ten years ago) link
Love "A Real Man", just narrowly missed my ballot. And yeah, it meant a lot to me. The s/t bangs pretty hard, and while there are some lowlights I think it's less spotty than a few of their albums. Plus it has their first stone-cold classic "Be Yr Mama", which I'm hoping shows up (but it's not looking too optimistic)

The opening drums! The new "Be My Baby" for the 21st century! I find it intensely sensual.
― Call the Doctorb, the B is for Brownstein (Leee), Tuesday, 29 April 2014 18:17 (ten years ago) link
Anyone else think Corin sounds a lot like Geddy Lee on the opening lines of this?
― Montgomery Burns' Jazz (Tarfumes The Escape Goat), Tuesday, 29 April 2014 18:18 (ten years ago) link
xp Not to be confused with "Oh!" which liberally quotes the drumbeat from "Be My Baby"

"Great job, girls!"
(Love the performance, but Letterman, eeps.)
― something of an astrological coup (tipsy mothra), Tuesday, 29 April 2014 18:29 (ten years ago) link
Haha I do confuse "One Beat" and "Oh!" all the time actually.
― Call the Doctorb, the B is for Brownstein (Leee), Tuesday, 29 April 2014 18:31 (ten years ago) link
Also, I'll have to listen to "Oh!" more carefully to peep the "BMB" quotations.
― guess that bundt gettin eaten (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn)
The only Woods song I did vote for. Didn't even consider any of the other songs.
I'm sure someone already pointed out how great their title tracks are. One Beat is one of the best.
― Kitchen Person, Tuesday, 29 April 2014 18:39 (ten years ago) link
Also, their lead-off tracks. There's still plenty of poll left, but my guess is all but one of the post-S/T openers made the top 27 of this poll.

One of the last songs I cut from my list. That was one of my favourites the first time I played Dig Me Out but other songs have overtaken it since.

first track i heard from one beat, i can remember driving around in the country outside of athens listening to wuog when it was still on the air and this just coming on out of nowhere and rocking my fucking world. easily my fave s-k in that pop anthem mode. RIGHTEOUS.

Actually thinking about the great moments in "Step Aside" -- the C&R sections, the whoo-ooh-oohs, the na-na-na-na-nana nanana outro -- makes me not so butthurd.
