B-sides musings...

Put a load of b-sides I hadn't heard for ages on my iPod today... and as I was listening... I had the following thoughts.

a) Why did they ever release Ballad of the Bangkok Novotel? It's awful. Just... awful. And, it does contain the words "Egg and Chips", doesn't it? I didn't just imagine that?

b) Is "Love Torn Us Under" the creepiest MSP song? As I sat in a Metro station waiting for my train, all on my lonesome, it just creeped me out. It has a constant ticking noise in the background, odd chords and a really weird vocal.

c) Wonder why Dead Yankee Drawl never made it as an album track. As I understand, it was written well before GT was released, and is far better than some songs off that album.

And that was it... that was the sum total of my journey to work this aft. :-)
