You guys are putting forward a very compelling case to dive in here
never listened to a second of GBV
Oh man oh mate oh join us (at least for the peaks)
thatās nearly a whole song!
I think we should supplementally do Not in my Air force / waved out / Kid Marine. Maybe that is going too far
Not complete without this and itās sequel:
Used to have a shitty .mp3 rip of this and got so many laughs out of it.
This post paid for by PROF$.
Not even a proper GBV album, reported to the mods.
Iāve been singing the lyric āim in love with a girl named satelliteā to my girlfriend for the last week. Itās staying in the list
I actually agree with this. Probably could replace with Ogres Trumpet.
Nah nah the tracks are too good, it stays!
Not on streaming! Only Austin City Limits
Class Clown Spots a UFO is still randomly missing from streaming which might be an issue, but thatās ages away
Bank holiday! Rain delay!
and itās here! merely one calendar day late we start at the beginning
itās a low-key start, but since it is the first thing they did and only just went up on streaming recently I did want to give it itās dues. Plus, not sure Iāve ever actually heard it!
I always think of this as their REM album
A remarkably polished sounding debut, totally at odds to the lo-fi chaos that would soon follow. Jangles aplenty on this, almost a bit Paisley Underground in places.
āThe Other Placeā is the first great GBV song IMO, a gorgeous song to these ears
Think Bob hated how this turned out which put him off studio recording. Vital to their origin story in a way.
Until it went on streaming the other week Iād only listened to it on youtube once or twice. Always really liked Land of Danger. She Wants to Know only clicked with me when I went back to it after seeing they were doing it live a couple of years ago. Need to listen to the rest a bit more.
