I spelt Sawyer wrong

I started trying to do Vee Vee but then I realized that I never really listen beyond "Underdogs of Nipomo"

Call Me
Green
Hate My Way
Vicky's Box
Fear
Stand Up
Soul Solidier
Delicate Cutters

(xxpost) Damn, I was trying to remember the tracks to "Station To Station", couldn't, and was just thinking about the track listing of "Here Come The Warm Jets"

another album I love that occasionally sounds Archers-y:

National Hum
Shine a Light
Nighttime/Anytime, It's Alright
Insectivora
Young Lions
Goodbye Baby and Amen
On to You
Poison
Tiger and Crane
Scoundrel Babes
Tank Commander
Subdomestic

Fuck, I forgot Rabbits Dying and America, hopeless.

... and yet again, I mixed up two kinda meh tracks from the latter half of the album (Tiger and Crane <---> Scoundrel Babes)

Anyone going to try Trout Mask Replica?

"I Want the One I Can't Have". That's 2/2 fails for me then.

Man this is so hard, I really thought I did a good job of a) listening to albums all the way through and ii) paying attention to song titles. I keep on writing lists of 9 or 10 songs, going "yeah that looks ok" then finding out there are 14 tracks on the album.

Did I get that right?

answers from wikipedia:

"Suffer for Fashion" – 2:58
"Sink the Seine" – 1:04
"Cato as a Pun" – 3:02
"Heimdalsgate Like a Promethean Curse" – 3:18
"Gronlandic Edit" – 3:24
"A Sentence of Sorts in Kongsvinger" – 4:54
"The Past Is a Grotesque Animal" – 11:52
"Bunny Ain't No Kind of Rider" – 3:51
"Faberge Falls for Shuggie" – 4:31
"Labyrinthian Pomp" – 3:21
"She's a Rejecter" – 4:02
"We Were Born the Mutants Again with Leafling" – 4:57

missed out faberge and got the name of the last track wrong and the spelling of Kongsvinger wrong, actually quite a few things wrong, but not bad really.

All these 10-12 track albums by British & American artists, or four-track albums by Can, is a piece of piss. 20+ track albums where all the song titles are in Brazilian Portuguese is a proper test.

I think that's about right. I'm sure I misspelled some of these.

I am better at doing this with stuff I was into in the 80s already, as nowadays I do so much of my listening in headphones and I often don't quite get the song titles properly. Having another go at Depeche Mode
