Elasticaaaaaa

Wow - dude has cool taste

Bee Thousand over Elastica and King.

I know I said on the Jeopardy thread that I was impressed that he was a fan of Heavenly, but I prefer The Decline and Fall to Le garden.

we had very different 1995s him and me

Annoyed at myself that I didn't title this poll "Le garage de Ken Jennings."

― Langdon Alger Stole the Highlights (cryptosicko), Wednesday, 25 November 2020 18:36 (five years ago)

it's 2020 nobody should be impressed by how cool Ken Jennings, the Jeopardy guy is

Don't know Small Factory, and their album doesn't appear to be streaming anywhere I can access it. Any good?

― Langdon Alger Stole the Highlights (cryptosicko), Wednesday, 25 November 2020 19:15 (five years ago)

They were a Providence band; I recall they were good.

Throwing Velocity Girl a sympathy vote.

Can't imagine Larry Levan spinning any of these tbh

iirc he posted another pic that should've been included in this poll for peak 90s-indie-gooberdom...

Thank you for reminding me how amazing Jennings' Twitter is

IMO, this poll shouldn't be for the individual albums, but rather the "two-fer" pairings on the tapes themselves. (D90 was not a good choice of tape, IIRC - but that's a separate consideration.)

― yes m!ch!gan - the feeling's forever (morrisp), Wednesday, 25 November 2020 20:28 (five years ago)

Velocity Girl - Simpatico
Uncle Tupelo - Anodyne

shld both be eliminated for egregious spine misformatting

― early-Woolf semantic prosody (Hadrian VIII), Wednesday, 25 November 2020 20:31 (five years ago)

Re: Small Factory, yes that one was their best IMO. "For If You Cannot Fly" > "The Industrial Evolution" (singles/etc. collection) >> "I Do Not Love You" >>>>>>>>>>> post-Small Factory band The Godrays' "Songs for TV Stars"

ha, many 90s dudes in my FB feed today have been dragging him very hard for this tape choice

massive lols at this

― visiting, Wednesday, 25 November 2020 20:36 (five years ago)

I'd have had Mighty Joe Moon any day but Anodyne of the ones available.

― Vanishing Point (Chinaski), Wednesday, 25 November 2020 20:38 (five years ago)

Real Ramona would be my pick of these

― akm, Wednesday, 25 November 2020 20:40 (five years ago)

Definitely wishing I hadn't jumped the gun with this before realizing there were more: Exile in Guyville would've gotten my vote.

― Langdon Alger Stole the Highlights (cryptosicko), Wednesday, 25 November 2020 20:45 (five years ago)

Real Ramona over Belly Jean King

― Josefa, Wednesday, 25 November 2020 21:07 (five years ago)

:) at Larry Levan

― huge rant (sic), Wednesday, 25 November 2020 21:08 (five years ago)

D90 was not a good choice of tape, IIRC

The D120, which he also has, was even worse

― Josefa, Wednesday, 25 November 2020 21:20 (five years ago)

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.
