I like the idea that someone comes up to Dan for his birthday, says to him, "As a gift, the master tapes of songs from two of your favorite bands!" and they turn out to be "Push" and "Mint Car" by the Cure and "Domino Dancing" and the Introspective mix of "I Want a Dog" by the Pet Shop Boys.

"Push"? NO FUCKING WAY UH-UH.
― The Ghost of Black Elegance (Dan Perry), Tuesday, 30 August 2005 18:20 (eighteen years ago) link
I have retooled redux CD 4 as a 'Push through the ages' compilation with 18 different versions.
NO NO NO PUSH HIM AWAAAAAAAYYYY!

I read the lyrics before I actually heard it, so I had a mental image in my mind of a minor key creepfest with harder-edged guitars and more snarling than yelping. Hearing the gossamer popfest, all-out chirpathon that is the actual song was the biggest Cure-related disappointment of my life; I was expecting "The Snakepit Pt 0".
Also the delivery of the lyrics is really, really embarrassing.

(Let me interrupt this thread to say that Unto Ashes' reworking of "The Drowning Man" on their new album Grave Blessings is absolutely brilliant and that Dan has to hear this thing ASAP.)

I'm pretty sure there will be tons of outtakes and live versions of "Push" on the re-issue, seeing how RS seems to enjoy that song. Hah...

"Well we thought about putting in the demos for "The Baby Screams" and "Sinking" but nobody seems to like those songs much."

which one are you counting as the first of "three", Three Imaginary Boys or Seventeen Seconds? Nothing's been omitted from any of the albums, but the failure to stick Killing An Arab on the bonus dsc for TIB is more than a little baffling.

And waiting for summer 2006 to come around when they drop the current drummer (Jason?) and lure back Boris.
By the way, as far as acronymns go, "THOTD" and "KMKMKM" read like Aphex Twin/Autechre song titles. Or Voivod/Magma albums.

your thoughts, then? surely the top outtakes will be righteously fucking insane? and thotd and kmkmkm might just out-pop the poppiest poppies, if done "properly"? eeeeep!

Yes. The tracks on Join the Dots won't be on the reissues.
― Vic Funk, Thursday, 17 November 2005 11:55 (eighteen years ago) link
But I mean no harm to 17 Seconds, either. I will never imagine a world where Faith exists without 17 Seconds.
Okay so no I have not bought the damn reissues, but money and time can change a lot of things, it's really remarkable.
