Someone tell me that's even half as good is it sounds...

― @d@ml (nordicskilla), Sunday, 21 December 2003 03:46 (twenty-one years ago)

― jed (jed_e_3), Sunday, 21 December 2003 03:47 (twenty-one years ago)

there weren't any singles released from the cat power album

― the surface noise (electricsound), Sunday, 21 December 2003 03:57 (twenty-one years ago)

He War was a single - in the uk at least.

― jed (jed_e_3), Sunday, 21 December 2003 04:02 (twenty-one years ago)

hey ya - OUTKAST
Like A Stone - Audioslave

No others come to mind.

― hey ya, Sunday, 21 December 2003 04:05 (twenty-one years ago)

He War was a single - in the uk at least.

find me somewhere selling a copy and i'll believe it, but i'm 99% sure it wasn't.

― the surface noise (electricsound), Sunday, 21 December 2003 04:11 (twenty-one years ago)

i was wrong - they made a video for it as a promo but it was never released as a single. oops.

― jed (jed_e_3), Sunday, 21 December 2003 04:13 (twenty-one years ago)

He War single:

I see used copies for sale on gemm. Possibly promos, but they do seem to exist. Maybe.

― dlp9001, Sunday, 21 December 2003 04:16 (twenty-one years ago)

oh ok no worries. i was more concerned about the fact that it had totally passed me by :)

― the surface noise (electricsound), Sunday, 21 December 2003 04:31 (twenty-one years ago)

you can watch the vid at the matador site.

― jed (jed_e_3), Sunday, 21 December 2003 04:32 (twenty-one years ago)

― Frank Kogan (Frank Kogan), Tuesday, 23 December 2003 04:40 (twenty-one years ago)

Frank do you like the radio edit of damn where it says "if you don't give a damn don't throw it up" better than the album where it says "we don't give a damn we don't give a fuck"?

coz i do.

― Sterling Clover (s_clover), Tuesday, 23 December 2003 04:45 (twenty-one years ago)

Well, it loses something in comprehensibility (especially in relation to the "don't start no shit [stuff], it won't be no shit [stuff]" that follows) but it allowed me to make a really disgusting joke in my Voice review.

A good year for radio edits. Ying Yangs' "Naggin'" was much better with "kiss my pants" in place of "kiss my ass."

― Frank Kogan (Frank Kogan), Tuesday, 23 December 2003 04:58 (twenty-one years ago)

He War was released to radio - student radio in any case - but only to promote the album, I think. Matador do not tend to release singles in the UK.

― William Bloody Swygart (mrswygart), Tuesday, 23 December 2003 23:33 (twenty-one years ago)

That said, they definitely released The Best Of Jill Hives by GBV as a single over here this year.

― William Bloody Swygart (mrswygart), Tuesday, 23 December 2003 23:40 (twenty-one years ago)

>>>7.Snoop Dogg, Nate Dogg, & Warren G-I'm Fly

― bill stevens (bscrubbins), Tuesday, 23 December 2003 23:42 (twenty-one years ago)

There's a video for "He War" which I saw on MTV USA (I think during 120)

~Valene~

― Valene D, Wednesday, 5 May 2004 01:56 (twenty-one years ago)

But no. 80 on Jeff's list is from 1993 or so.

― Barima (Barima), Wednesday, 5 May 2004 09:02 (twenty-one years ago)

Yeah, I know, but it was new to me (was on that Herbalizer mix CD from last year) and was a timely revival what with Iraq 2 'n' all.

Valerie: you're welcome.

ALERT: since I don't have my own computer or anything to make CDs with, I couldn't take up Matos's kind offer to trade. However, I borrowed a friend's PC the other day and burnt my first ever mix CD. I shall be giving away copies on ILE later today. I'll post a link to the thread when it's up.

― Jeff W (zebedee), Wednesday, 5 May 2004 09:47 (twenty-one years ago)

Valene, I mean. I'm clearly going blind in my old age.

― Jeff W (zebedee), Wednesday, 5 May 2004 09:50 (twenty-one years ago)

CDR Giveaway
