i don't really expect more than like 6 responses here but jeez this is a great record.

i guess i go "trashman," but not by much over anything else.

here's butch live.

and california tuffy, which i didn't even know there was a video for.

and toybox, cuckoo.

Sorry, but I never liked it much--haven't heard it in about 10 years, though.

― JN$OT, Saturday, 10 November 2007 10:09 (eighteen years ago)

everything but the Can cover is classic. I voted Tuffy. Best video ever too.

This is such a great great record. I'm going to have to think about this one for a while.

― John Justen, Saturday, 10 November 2007 16:48 (eighteen years ago)

I have not put this on in ages. I liked it a lot, once. Even the Can cover. Maybe even especially the Can cover. Time to dig it out again.

love this album so much. love the other GF album more, though. I'm voting for "Seven or in 10".

― Alex in Baltimore, Sunday, 11 November 2007 13:42 (eighteen years ago)

and the Can cover is totally one of the best tracks on here.

california tuffy! i loved that video and that cat puppet.

This was hard. At first it was definitely "Cuckoo" or "You Doo Right" and I would've thought it would now be "Butch" but I dunno I have some residual feeling for "7 or in 10."

It baffles me that people aren't referencing this album more but I guess the current state of indie isn't very Fibbers-friendly.

i don't actually think i've heard these guys, but i recently found a record by early 80s postpunk group Invisible Chains that Bozulich was in

here's a song of theirs http://www.robotsinheat.com/trax/SalMineoYouthGroupGrowingUp.mp3

love the other GF album more, though.

i really like the first one, and the live one too. but i love the range on this one, and nels cline was a good pick-up.

Lost Somewhere... is one of my top ten 90's albums, I like it even more than this one.
