I wanted to include BOC's "Amo Bishop Rodan", but I didn't want a BOC track 'cause then everyone's like "what's with everyone and BOC being perfect 'n all?"

I wanted to include Spoon's "Metal Detektor" but then everyone's like "oh, another boring indie-rock list thing." Ditto for Pavement's "Here", which I guess I still like a lot, though I haven't listened to it in a while.

I should care less what people think about what I like. Maybe.

I wanted to include a Radiohead track, but I couldn't decide which one was perfect, if any.

I could've include something by the Beatles, but they're not interesting to talk about.

I'm not sure if "Syeeda's Song Flute" is *perfect*, but it was the cause of some pretty visions in my head two nights ago. And I wanted people to think I was more eclectic.

― Mitch Lastnamewithheld, Saturday, 20 April 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

you forgot fuckin "louie louie"

― ddd, Saturday, 20 April 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Don't anyone say anything too insightful 'n shit about "The Light 3000", cos it's gonna be my first NYLPM review when I learn how to write.

― Mitch Lastnamewithheld, Saturday, 20 April 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

The Breeders' "No Aloha" could have been there. Too late now, though.

― Mitch Lastnamewithheld, Saturday, 20 April 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

"Exit Music" is the perfect Radiohead song, obviously.

Right on "The Light 3000", right on "Girl/Boy Song", right on "To You Alone".

"Tired of Sex" is way more perfecter than "Only In Dreams".

― Keiko, Saturday, 20 April 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

but it is a different kind of perfecter

― tyler, Saturday, 20 April 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

The Rock by Delakota is perfect.

― Nick Southall, Saturday, 20 April 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

4'33'' is the only perfect song.

― A Nairn, Saturday, 20 April 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Aaliyah - "I Care 4 U"

Yes. Recognise, people.

― Tim, Saturday, 20 April 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Sweet list,Mitch. I've heard about 3/4 of em. My own faves'd be Aphex Twin,Sonic Youth, Basement Jaxx and the Brian Eno one.

― michael bourke, Saturday, 20 April 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Nice list.

But if you're not going to mention the Beatles, I certainly am. I'd go so far as to say that the entire second side of Abbey Road is close to perfect.

Also,

Ween - "Mutilated Lips" Beck - "Jackass" (if I had to choose one track from Odelay, that is) Aphex Twin - Ropes (from SAW II) The Police - Roxanne Jean Michele Jarre - Oxygene pt. 2 King Crimson - 21st Century Schizoid Man

are candidates.

― Andrew, Saturday, 20 April 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

cool, did I see a vote for a John Cage composition?

here's five :

Abba - Knowing Me Knowing You Sting - Seven Days Depressed Poets - Myth (to everyone like me and you) Bee Gees - Night Fever David Sylvian - Endgame

― brian, Saturday, 20 April 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

am i waaaay of with clinic's distortions? its got it all, especially the 3 seconds of no-wave trumpet at the end.

― josh, Sunday, 21 April 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

oops, sax that is.

― josh, Sunday, 21 April 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

i always thought 4'33" was a tad too short to be perfect...

― Todd Burns, Sunday, 21 April 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

There's got to be at least ONE Buzzcocks track. "Everybody's Happy Nowadays", maybe. Oh, what the hell, throw in the Stooges' "Down on the Street" and Funkadelic's "Maggot Brain", too.

― Nate Patrin, Sunday, 21 April 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

I feel the Buzzcocks HAVE to be on any list of perfect songs - who else started with a run of about eight perfect singles? Never before or since, I think.

― Martin Skidmore, Sunday, 21 April 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

you can't revise the list! (© ethan padgett 2001)

― Mitch Lastnamewithheld, Sunday, 21 April 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

What about 'Final Day' by the Young Marble Giants?

― Sasha Gabba Hey!, Sunday, 21 April 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Why:

"Only in Dreams": My eyes are closed, I'm about to fall asleep, I'm listening to this on headphones. Weezer tell us to "Reach our our hands/ Hold on to hers": without being aware of my actions, I comply, lifting my hand into the air. And that was the last time I really knew who I was reaching out to.

― Mitch Lastnamewithheld, Sunday, 21 April 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Is the rest of Aaliyah as damn good as "I Care 4 U"? Cos if it is, WHOOO!

― Lee, Sunday, 21 April 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

I thought we already discussed this and "Walk Away Renee" was the only perfect pop song.

― Dave225, Monday, 22 April 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Though I've cooled to it a bit now, probably just the effect of overplaying, "Aaliyah" is indeed that good. Doesn't anybody want to say anything else? Are we completely burnt out on this idea?

― Mitch Lastnamewithheld, Monday, 22 April 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

I sort of promised myself I would comment on everyone's perfect lists, Mitch, but every time it pretty much comes down to: "not heard x%; of the rest yeah they're pretty good but you don't need me to tell you that". I suspect what these threads need to do is to lead to some kind of universal ILX theory of 'perfection', but that's beyond me. Sorry.

― Jeff W, Monday, 22 April 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

I veer between thinking that the patterns (note plural) are there whether we see them or not and thinking that looking for patterns = pointless or inaccurate systematising. Either way, the search for the patterns of perfection is always the most interesting part of these lists, and I have yet to find on with Mitch's. Admittedly I'm too tired to try that hard. Anyone else?

― Tim, Monday, 22 April 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

The words Weezer, Sonic Youth and 'perfect' do not seem to go together somehow. Maybe the words Weezer, Sonic Youth and 'yank indie chart shite' sound better?

― Calum Robert, Monday, 22 April 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

You cannot insult the list! (©mitch 2002)

Well, alright, you can: but at least do it interestingly.
Anyway,FYI, "Schizophrenia" is perfect because of its seamless transition from a first person narrative (it's a Sunday afternoon, thumping garbage can-lid percussion soundtracks the urgent gait of a nervous, troubled Thurston as he arrives at his friend's house, sits down in a old, ripped sofa [floral design, once peach-coloured, now an unwashed dirty brown], prepares to detail his manifold woes to his buddy, but now finds himself tranfixed with this girl: the insane, insanely alluring bitch with the light, dancing eyes) to detached metaphysical commentary (Kim's voice emanates from some blue hazy infinity and calmly proclaims: "my future is static").

And if that wasn't startling enough, Kim's hunch proved right: "It's coming back". The mundane and the existential merge in a breathtaking rush of soaring white guitar noise- it's as if you've tipped over one of those garbage cans and the secret of the universe came tumbling out.

Yank Indie Chart Shite, my ass.

― Mitch Lastnamewithheld, Monday, 22 April 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

'Judy is a Punk' surely. 4'33" has a horrible middle eight.

― Baranaby, Monday, 22 April 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

mitch are you trying to be josh?

― ethan, Monday, 22 April 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

There's worse people to be, but I'm not sure what you are referring to. Possibly:
1) my choices, which are all songs that i sincerely love and consider perfect (or close enough to)
2) my inclusion of coltrane, which I have explained above (for the record, the pretty visions I had were of a young child skipping through a kind of golden sparkly nighttime cityscape)
3) my wanky sonic youth writing, but that doesn't really make sense cause josh is never really wanky like that, and anyway he'd do it better. hence "trying", perhaps.

In conclusion: make up yr mind! Last week I was trying to be Tim F, now I'm trying to be Josh.. who am I meant to emulate now?

― Mitch Lastnamewithheld, Monday, 22 April 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

okay so your list is tom waits, weezer, outkast (from aquemini no less), sonic youth, a token ilm dance track (and a smiths cover at that), eno, some 'pretty' idm, melodic hiphop thats also rock crit friendly, low (for christ's sake, low!), autechre, another token ilm dance track, token ilm rnb track, dylan (fucking DYLAN), THE BETA BAND, broadcast, and COLTRANE, and you want to know how it could possibly be joshlike?

― ethan, Monday, 22 April 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

tom waits: I just borrowed "mule variations" last week from some guy at university (I didn't even ask for it, he just said I should give it a listen and see what I think) and I absolutely love that song.
weezer: loved them before I found out about FT, and Josh.
outkast: possibly swayed by FT and josh wuv for outkast, I'll give you 1 pt for that.
sonic youth: downloaded this cos I wanted to see if sundar was right about "sister". so far: yeah, he is.
schneidertm: 1) you can't dance to it. 2) if it's a token ilm choice, then that's partially because I heard it about a year ago or more and have taken every opportunity to mention it since. 'sides, does josh even like the smiths?
eno: throwing my cred out the winder, I heard this for the first time in the last scene of "Traffic".
aphex: shut up. you SO know this perfect. (and even better than windowlicker so there.
nerd: 1) it's so melodic it's not even hiphop (harhar!) and 2) I've listened to this many many many times on repeat. It's perfect.
low: got this pre-FT, too, I think.
autechre: i've gone on about pen expers so many times, you should know i mean it.
b jaxx: yeah, fair accusation of token-ilmism here, but I was feeling a little down when I wrote the list and i knew i needed something upbeat and "where's your head at?" gets better evertime I hear it.
aaliyah: it's perfect and ilm loves it and i don't have to defend anything.
dylan: bought 'blonde on blonde' ages ago, also pre-ft i think. Maybe i'll write something more about this here, but my love for it is pure and true. (and your favourite oldies song is "lady elaine"(sic), so there.)
the beta band: u r just upset cause you don't have the 'sequinsizer' ep.
broadcast: does josh like 'em? Mel started hyping them to me. anyway, its perfect, i'm running out of patience defending myself.
coltrane: explained above.

the end score: ethan 1, mitch 16! i am validated!
(but, to be fair, objectively that list does look a little Josh-ish.)

― Mitch Lastnamewithheld, Monday, 22 April 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

(praise the heavens i didn't put any dismemberment plan on there)

― Mitch Lastnamewithheld, Monday, 22 April 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

ETHAN 1 MITCH 0

― ethan, Monday, 22 April 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

1) josh told you not to read that.
2) areas of overlap: tom waits, dylan, beta band. bb notwithstanding, (everyone loves them anyway, except for sean and john darnielle, as i have mentioned earlier today), those are hardly fucking obscure names, yesno?

― Mitch Lastnamewithheld, Monday, 22 April 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

it's the same tasteful aesthetic.

― ethan, Monday, 22 April 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Maybe you should add Roots Manuva just to piss Ethan off.

― Nate Patrin, Monday, 22 April 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

hey i remember you you're the guy i thought was onion av club hiphop retard nathan rabin when you whined on the pfork board about me reviewing the blueprint instead of dose one or some crap, hi!

― ethan, Monday, 22 April 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Sadly, the list cannot be revised. Even in these exceptional circumstances.

― Mitch Lastnamewithheld, Monday, 22 April 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Actually, Dose One is trash, too. "HI I HAVE LOTS OF MONEY AND I STAB PEOPLE!" "HI, I SOUND LIKE THE IDIOT BASTARD SON OF B-REAL AND A MOSQUITO!" Hi, I hate both of you.

― Nate Patrin, Monday, 22 April 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

oh i guess it was blackalicious then.

― ethan, Monday, 22 April 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

ooh, this is getting good.. sadly we aren't due for another FITE in.. *snaps fingers* Ronan! When are we due for another FITE?

― Mitch Lastnamewithheld, Monday, 22 April 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Yeah, I like them. Figures, huh?

― Nate Patrin, Monday, 22 April 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

what the fuck are you even talking about?

― ethan, Monday, 22 April 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Ethan confused. Mission accomplished.

― Nate Patrin, Monday, 22 April 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

who are you talking to? me or nate?

― Mitch Lastnamewithheld, Monday, 22 April 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Who is this "Ethan P?" Is he the pseudonym of some other writer?

― matthew m., Monday, 22 April 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

This is getting out of hand. Did I mention how much I like "Pen Expers"?

― Mitch Lastnamewithheld, Monday, 22 April 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

I think it's about a guy who goes back to a railroad station that featured prominently in his childhood- "The Penn Express"- and now it lies in a state of disrepair and the song is about how you can't always get what you want.

― Mitch Lastnamewithheld, Monday, 22 April 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

at least you get a decent token jazz track, for choosing 'n.e.r.d.' and fucking outkast he might as well just said blackalicious and dose one.

― bc, Monday, 22 April 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

well, anyway, this is one of the best of these list things so far (although you have given yourself about 15-20 more than anyone else you cheat). with only in dreams and pen expers you cannot go wrong

― gareth, Tuesday, 23 April 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Token records are loads better than the other sort.

― Tom, Tuesday, 23 April 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Gareth: there are actually only 17 songs on the list.

― Mitch Lastnamewithheld, Tuesday, 23 April 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

I wanted to include a Radiohead track, but I couldn't decide which one was perfect, if any.

PYRAMID SONG!!!!!

― Dan Perry, Tuesday, 23 April 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Kung Fu by Ash is the most perfect song ever. Especially when he talks about Mr. Myagi.

― Ally, Tuesday, 23 April 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Gareth: there are actually only 17 songs on the list

yes, that is a very good point Mitch. i was never very good at maths. or enghjlistjh...

― gareth, Wednesday, 24 April 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Ally: the video for Alien Ant Farm's "Movies" actually *features* Mr. Myagi! Does this make it perfect?

― Mitch Lastnamewithheld, Wednesday, 24 April 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Mitch, did you ever write that 'The Light 3000', NYLPM entry? Do you still have it (ie post it here)?

Cozen: ah yes here it is, but oh goodness it's awful. or at least in need of heavy editing. can i have a moment?

btw these may well be some of the other 32 perfect songs that i have since discovered:

Jay-Z - "Big Pimpin'" or "You Don't Know" or "Can I Live" (depending on what kind of jay-mood i'm in.)
New Order - "Temptation"
Brian Eno - "Unfamiliar Wind"
Orbital - "Halcyon + On + On"
Kelis - "Mafia"
Dizzy Rascal vs. Vitalic - "I Love Poney"
Lali Puna - "Together in Electric Dreams"
Eric B & Rakim - "My Melody"

― Cozen (Cozen), Saturday, 19 April 2003 11:28 (twenty-two years ago)

'I Can't Go For That' is practically perfect, as is Beach Boys 'Matchpoint Of Our Love'...i'm going by Avalanches DJ set tracklists for this as they seem exceptionally on the ball

― stevem (blueski), Saturday, 19 April 2003 12:08 (twenty-two years ago)

This is a hard thread to read. You know that nervous feeling you get when the bully at school is about to beat someone else up? Like you kind've want to stop him but you don't want him to make your life miserable until June?

― Ally (mlescaut), Monday, 21 April 2003 01:21 (twenty-two years ago)

no "perfect songs" list that doesn't have (a) duran duran's "hungry like the wolf," (b) human league's "don't you want me," (c) adam ant's "stand and deliver," and (d) gary numan's "cars" is absolute whack.

The Basement Jaxx track is so hideously annoying. If it didn't have the cool video, I wouldn't have even been able to hear the whole song once through without blowing out my brains.

Tad is OTM except he forgot about "Der Kommissar"

― Ally (mlescaut), Monday, 21 April 2003 01:35 (twenty-two years ago)

ok, you can include "der Kommissar" too (just fer Ally)!

my favourite orbital track remains "way out", I don't know if this is cos the other ones are so everywhere, but way out has always been my favourite.

― Ronan (Ronan), Monday, 21 April 2003 01:48 (twenty-two years ago)

i used to love that track,but got a bit sick of it cause when i used to listen to it i had like three dance tracks,that,belfast,and something else...
the version of the box on the album with the intro that goes on for hours is fucking incredible...
