Oh it's just too aimless for me, that's all.

o yeah that Weeds song is killer

I like the Clean but "Part Past Part Fiction" jumps into my head at least once a week.

Lord Sotosyn, Tuesday, 29 November 2011 17:06 (twelve years ago) link

tbh I think the Verlaines in their prime were way better than either

Verlaines all day, every day.

during the first week I was at college I used to sit outside late at night near the closed law library and listen to this song over and over again on my walkman.

I also listen to Verlaines the most. I am quite fond of Tall Dwarfs, as well.

mookieproof, Tuesday, 29 November 2011 18:15 (twelve years ago) link

Chills, but not by much.

sleeve sandbox, Tuesday, 29 November 2011 19:28 (twelve years ago) link

chills! way ahead of the clean imo. brave words is a solid album.

kid steel, Tuesday, 29 November 2011 21:30 (twelve years ago) link

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

System, Wednesday, 30 November 2011 00:01 (twelve years ago) link

3ds tho

mookieproof, Wednesday, 30 November 2011 02:40 (twelve years ago) link

Oh, come on. Only FN band that the future will remember:

<3 <3 <3 the Axemen

Illia Rump (emil.y), Wednesday, 30 November 2011 03:25 (twelve years ago) link

I love the 3Ds freakouts; their polite songs are ok but kinda forgettable.

La Lechera, former application inspector for the (league of women voters), Wednesday, 30 November 2011 03:33 (twelve years ago) link

once I made a tape of only David Mitchell 3Ds songs (or at least the ones he sang)(+ a couple of denise numbers)(+ some other David Mitchell stuff) and it confirmed my theory that he was the reason the 3Ds were good.

advance johnson, Wednesday, 30 November 2011 04:07 (twelve years ago) link

can't decide; see you in 19 hours

wang dang google doodle (James Redd), Wednesday, 30 November 2011 04:32 (twelve years ago) link

Clean

pothole pleasures, Wednesday, 30 November 2011 20:35 (twelve years ago) link

after listening to most of what i have by both, i've changed my mind and prefer the chills, but i think i already voted for the clean.

mizzell, Wednesday, 30 November 2011 21:04 (twelve years ago) link

I don't think I can vote in this...they seem like such different bands, despite being associated with the same scene. They were both, in their primes, trying for such different things, and I think they both succeeded.

advance johnson, Wednesday, 30 November 2011 21:10 (twelve years ago) link

always the diplomat
now put your vote into the hat

La Lechera, former application inspector for the (league of women voters), Wednesday, 30 November 2011 21:14 (twelve years ago) link

This would be a much harder call for me if it was down to their early output, but Kaleidoscope World clinches it for The Chills.

Pollbix, Wednesday, 30 November 2011 21:20 (twelve years ago) link

if I had to vote I guess it'd be for the clean, because I can't see there being a point in my life when I'm going to be listening to the chills a lot again.

advance johnson, Wednesday, 30 November 2011 21:40 (twelve years ago) link

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

System, Thursday, 1 December 2011 00:01 (twelve years ago) link

sleeve sandbox, Thursday, 1 December 2011 00:07 (twelve years ago) link

Wow that's p close.

I think the results are exactly correct btw

the verlaines were robbed

advance johnson, Thursday, 1 December 2011 01:15 (twelve years ago) link

We can agree this is a draw, right?

La Lechera, former application inspector for the (league of women voters), Thursday, 1 December 2011 01:58 (twelve years ago) link

No. WE WON, GUYS, WE WON.

Illia Rump (emil.y), Thursday, 1 December 2011 01:59 (twelve years ago) link

i forgot to vote for the clean ;_;

dope, goons and thuggin’ in the street (pomplamau5), Thursday, 1 December 2011 08:27 (twelve years ago) link

so it's all YOUR fault

Fake Eyeball, Thursday, 1 December 2011 11:08 (twelve years ago) link

my poll votes have been far more decisive than my ballots in our fake democracy.

Dr Morbius, Thursday, 1 December 2011 12:46 (twelve years ago) link

I still consider this a tie.

recently deposed application inspector for the (league of women voters), Thursday, 1 December 2011 14:34 (twelve years ago) link

I blame myself. I got confused about how many days were in November and gave this poll only one day instead of the two I had originally planned.

ruth m4rcus is a mor4n (henrietta lacks), Thursday, 1 December 2011 14:44 (twelve years ago) link

Bah, finally got my new system up and running and look what I missed? This is sort of a classic career-breadth vs career high-points, and in my view The Clean wins the former and The Chills win the latter. I would've voted Chills regardless.

Gerald McBoing-Boing, Thursday, 1 December 2011 16:35 (twelve years ago) link

oh god so close.
new bats record sounds great btw.

tylerw_sandbox, Thursday, 1 December 2011 16:51 (twelve years ago) link

haven't heard any bats apart from daddy's highway (block of wood!!!) - maybe i should

most underrated flying nun band are the gordons but they're a totally different kettle of kakapos i guess

domish gassambino (pomplamau5), Thursday, 1 December 2011 17:02 (twelve years ago) link

iirc gordons begat bailter space & that is certainly a good thing indeed!

Pollbix, Thursday, 1 December 2011 20:47 (twelve years ago) link

Wow y'know all this time I thought Bailter Space was formed by Hamish Kilgour or that he was a prominent member, but reading their wiki it seems he was only in the band for a couple of years and yes the line up for most of the time was in fact the same as the Gordons! (who were fucking awesome, you can still get the CD of their first album pretty cheaply iirc)

Fake Eyeball, Thursday, 1 December 2011 23:56 (twelve years ago) link

Also where is Daddy's Highway reissue formed?

Fake Eyeball, Thursday, 1 December 2011 23:56 (twelve years ago) link

one band that never seems to get mentioned when NZ bands are discussed are Snapper, started by Peter Gutteridge who was an ex-member of ... The Clean and The Chills!

never seen that first snapper video before, such a neat band!

the gas-cramp dilla (pomplamau5), Friday, 2 December 2011 13:37 (twelve years ago) link

Snapper is awesome! Bailter Space too!

Different kettle of fish, but I really like Dadamah as well...

iagree (henrietta lacks), Friday, 2 December 2011 14:44 (twelve years ago) link

someone talk to me about guns in flying nun songs

iirc there are guns in "anything could happen", "wheatfields", "pink frost" and probably a bunch of songs i don't know/don't remember

don't point that thing at me
what's up with the gun imagery?
