Not surprised it got bumped, but it's a great opener. Don's howl at the beginning is perfect.

Beatbox is out and Sightsee is not looking good, what is wrong with the world

Beyond the Pale has to win, Sight See is a hard tune. Gotta vote for 13.
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.

I voted Sightsee, some of my favourite Joe Strummer lyrics.

This guy gets it. Voting V. Thirteen off the island.

Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle like a rolling hoop
Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle like a ton of lead
Wiggle - you can raise the dead

V13 is so much better than Beyond the Pale in its execution.
There's a tiny, tiny hopeful part of me that says you guys are running a Kaufmanesque long con on the board

I love Beyond the Pale, but it’s my third favorite on the album.
Also this album would be a gem of an EP.

Current events really elevate BtP. I'll be sticking with Sightsee as long as it's available, but BtP has more weight to it.

V13 is my highlight of the first two BAD albums.

I think it’s the best song on Upping even though I like the backing music to Sightsee the most.

Oh yeah, I got to play keys on Sightsee at one of the Strummerville shows. It was a lot of fun because I got to use synth tympanis for those big hits:
(excuse the loud percussion)
*edit* - Damn it Gil! Enable it for hosting on other sites! 21:22 is when I was trying to link.

Whoa—better than anything on TIBAD? Aside from the now-fully shamed "Sony," it doesn't sniff any of the songs on side 1.
