Plaid was the last gig I went to before the world ended and it was mostly material from their last couple of albums and then towards the end they played Last Remembered Thing and it was this completely ecstatic moment I'll hold with me for a long time.

we went to see them when they played in seattle last december, with low expectations, and it was amazing, it made me change my mind about polymer.
and it felt like the right show to close the decade, and, in retrospect, the right last show to see "before the world ended".

In the end I was the only one who voted for Dang Spot haha

Ralome is a worthy winner though

I feel a little sorry for poor old Shackbu

yeah surprised shackbu got nothing.
so it’s basically ralome vs the rest. kinda funny the least plaid track won.
voted for gel lab in the end.

Shackbu is fine but nothing special. Very surprised Little People didn't do better though

shackbu is a fine example of plaid being cheeky/playful, a quality that seems to disappear in later albums, so i appreciate it for that.
almost voted for little people!

oh, quite a few cheeky tunes on the last one. Check Crown Shy

ralome is honestly the only track that i can remember what it sounds like without relistening, and somehow, even 30 minutes after a relisten, the only one that i remember what it sounds like
