Voting Long Shadow in round one? This fucking board.

I know, right? Obviously, Arms Aloft is the weak link here.
Meskies albums are so fucking good. These are all hard picks.

Surprised for the votes for Coma Girl and Ramshackle, this is the album I'm most familiar with, and these were my favourites.

Re: ROUND 1 - Streetcore, Side 1
I flipped a mental coin on Arms Aloft and Ramshackle lost, though I like all of these songs to an extent.

It’s baffling.

I just don't understand what these people want from music.

There's a tiny, tiny hopeful part of me that says you guys are running a Kaufmanesque long con on the board

I couldn't vote for Arms Aloft because it mentions Newcastle in the lyrics.

Tough enough call but would have to be Arms Aloft to me, not a bad tune but just bit weaker than the rest and, if i'm honest, doesn't feel entirely like a Joe song to me. I do like Coma Girl and GDM a lot, but the studio versions didn't live up to the early live ones. And Ramshackle Day Parade feels like it could have been an epic Joe track if it had been properly finished and twice the length. In the circumstances, its still a wonderful track.
Re: ROUND 1 - Streetcore, Side 1
Long Shadow has that great "somewhere in my soul, there is always rock AND roll" line, Arms Aloft has a great hook, had to vote for Ramshackle.
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.
