"I Wanna Be Me" is a good track but the production would be out of place on NMTBHTSP as it was recorded by Dave Goodman in 1976 a year before the Bollocks takes. That said so was AitUK recorded in 1976 but has a much fuller sounding production by Chris Thomas.

Re: The Mighty Musical Observations Thread
Did You No Wrong for me instead of Problems. It was the only track on Bollocks I never cared for.
There's a tiny, tiny hopeful part of me that says you guys are running a Kaufmanesque long con on the board

Re: The Mighty Musical Observations Thread
It relates to, I think, what a person think punk represents and how it might apply to how you carry yourself. Punk taught me to be more critical, to feel confident about being an outsider and to dissent, and that hierarchies and abstractions get in the way of how we should relate to one another. But punk music and punk communities have, as a whole, been about asserting new dogmas, new hierarchies and exclusivities, and, in the end, to be much more free market capitalist dogmatists than the big bad record company—they just to play the game, too. I don't necessarily begrudge that latter point, but if your aim is to make a living selling records, how radical is that? Staying on a small label might be more ethical and share the wealth better, but it's still capitalism, so let's not exaggerate how radical punk is in taking on The System and all that. Something essential is lost, it seems, when punk gets applied to formal or practical matters. That's what I mean about the apparent paradox about punk's salvational quality and it's meaninglessness to accomplish much.Kory wrote: ↑28 Jan 2019, 1:51pmI relate to (a) for sure—would you agree that if it was true of more people, then (b) would not be true?

Can't imagine swapping out songs. Add the others, the more the merrier.

I do like Did You No Wrong...but in my mind it's such a perfect album as is - one of the best ever - so no additions or subtractions (or submissions) for me!Dr. Medulla wrote: ↑28 Jan 2019, 4:40pmCan't imagine swapping out songs. Add the others, the more the merrier.
