I had a cassette of Tigermilk! Definitely before you could buy a CD of it in the store. And there was definitely an "oh my god I HAVE THIS" aspect to it.

I had a dubbed cassette version that had been passed around and was of questionable fidelity, it was written up in high praise by either Jenny Toomey (or Franklin Bruno?) in Puncture Magazine and I put out some ISOs. The Matador crew hooked me up.

It was Jenny Toomey's article circa 1997. Franklin's piece came out later, around the time they toured NYC for the first time around Sinister. I remember FB made a note that SM changed the TSTIAMI lyric from "turning tables round in Marks & Spencer" to "Sears & Roebuck" lol.

the artwork for the 3 Human Problems EPs is their very worst imo. if you're going to feature monochromatic randos, at least give them enough space to do something interesting for the camera!

It's not great. I believe the cover stars were fans, so it may have involved more more deliberation than their average cover!

this is not my favorite B&S EP
I dug the title track. But the others were their first to actually feel like B-sides to me.

I was listening to Push Barman a few days ago and I realized that the Legal Man single is all garbage. If I had actually bought it at the time I woulda been pissed.

Sorry, that's actually 3 first-place votes. I can respect that position. All three tracks are possibly a tad under-rated. (Or under-heard?)

agreed. voted for two of these on my traxx poll and the third barely missed the cut.

A tie on total points, at least. The former was on more than half of ballots. The latter received several first-place votes. Pick your own winner if you wish.

Books was my number one, Jonathan Davis my number two, Modern my number three. I really love the first two EPs but they each strike me as one stellar song with a couple good ones and a bad one.
― avoid drinking on an empty liver (fionnland), Wednesday, 12 December 2018 23:13 (five years ago) link
Incidentally, I think the tracks rollout shall start at #60, because:
(i) everything has >10 votes out to around that point(ii) there's an interesting mix of stuff between 50 and 60(iii) more opportunity to annoy ILM's unbelievers than with 50
― Nag! Nag! Nag!, Wednesday, 12 December 2018 23:19 (five years ago) link
i think 369 seconds of light is easily the best of the first three eps, ok i guess they’re all hits so it doesn’t matter
― jolene club remix (BradNelson), Wednesday, 12 December 2018 23:24 (five years ago) link
Oh Nag can you also disclose which album track from pre-hiatus didn't get a vote (assuming it didn't in the final ballots)? That's been bugging me.
― avoid drinking on an empty liver (fionnland), Wednesday, 12 December 2018 23:24 (five years ago) link
369 was my #1 too, even though the lead track (or at least the one that got a promo video) was probably my least favourite of that era.
I'll disclose right now which track missed out, because it's probably more of a technical thing than a quality thing: "Act of the Apostle II." Some votes for "AotA" might have implied support for both parts.
