ROUND 4 - Streetcore, Side 1
Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle like a bowl of soup
Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle like a rolling hoop
Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle like a ton of lead
Wiggle - you can raise the dead
Pex Lives!

Re: ROUND 4 - Streetcore, Side 1
"Moses" is my favourite Meskies song, but "Coma Girl" has such a joyous energy to it. Whatever the result, I hope it's close.

Re: ROUND 4 - Streetcore, Side 1
This is a brutal choice. Just two top-tier Joe songs from any point in his career and, I imagine, tons of personal resonance for all of us. Went with Coma Girl because I still feel myself get elated when it blasts through the speakers. The kind of musical high that makes all this obsession worthwhile.
EDIT: To clarify, I voted Get Down Moses in support of Coma Girl.

The split decision came down to too many gangs in Coma.

Lyrically Coma Girl is a bit weak
Forces have been looting
My humanity
Curfews have been curbing
The end of liberty

Yeah. It’s a damn joyous delight, but when I first heard GDM (St. Anne’s 4/2, I think) I assumed he was covering a timeless reggae classic that I somehow missed out on.

Both great songs. Won't fret either winning/losing. Gave GDM the vote since Coma Girl is just so damn fun. Plus Joe's voice cracks in the intro and that's such a nice touch.
Look, you have to establish context for these things. And I maintain that unless you appreciate the Fall of Constantinople, the Great Fire of London, and Mickey Mantle's fatalist alcoholism, live Freddy makes no sense. If you want to half-ass it, fine, go call Simon Schama to do the appendix.

Never got the big love for Moses. Coma Girl is just a brilliant feelgood tune, one of Joe's best solo efforts for me.
