Th' Faith Healers Best Song

Love Th' Faith Healers! Voted See-Saw.

i think it comes down to Mother Sky vs Sparklingly Chime

i'll go with the latter, cause the first is a cover (best Can cover ever, but a cover still)

Er... something on Imaginary Friend. By which I mean, everything on Imaginary Friend.

Maybe Heart Fog.

By which I mean, everything on Imaginary Friend.

OTM

This Time

For loud guitar space-out pop, I never though anything could outdo "Seagull" from Ride's Nowhere as an opener, but This Time manages to outdo it.

Spin 1/2 without a doubt. I still play "Lido" fairly regularly.

the two covers they did for peel, SOS and Without You were both great. that said, i voted Not A God as it was the first thing that sprang to mind reading the list.

weren't there vinyl-only tracks on the lps, locked grooves iirc... i always think that the cd versions of such lps should be filled to capacity with the repeated bit at the end.

love song, just ahead of this time

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

It's Heart Fog. Even though I mistakenly have it labeled in iTunes as Heart Frog which is of course a cooler name.

everything all at once forever. fond memories of astral planing into the runout groove propelled by that rubbery bassline and the fuzz guitar struggling to spit out those weird jazz chords that just surge forth once they break free. that descant nursery rhyme. ug. dizzy thinking about it. reminds me of a pharoah sanders jam. what i wanted loop to sound like. they never did.

sparkingly chime's perfect

it's cold! it's cold! it's cold!

in a hippy hole

i always think that the cd versions of such lps should be filled to capacity with the repeated bit at the end.

there's a flaming lips cd that does this (hit to death in the future head iirc)

dmr, do you recall when the Blue Note booked these guys, but when they showed up, it was quickly discovered that the band was "The Faith Healers" from Fayetteville, Ark.?

haha no I don't remember that. I did see the correct Faith Healers at the Blue Note once though, opening for the Breeders and Jon Spencer Blues Explosion.

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

much love for "everything all at once forever" as joint winner

(also for the concept of "heart frog". heart frog seems so cold to me)

smh @ this not being a ballot poll

Saw a vinyl copy of Lido go for $4.32 on ebay after the fact...

smh at "My Loser" not getting a vote. That was my close 2nd.

could a band cover mother sky in the manner of th' faith healers only choose a different assortment of mother sky parts? i think so. considering how many other parts they left on the cutting room floor.

yes! you have your assignment.

gotcha

Hey there Faith Healers song thread.

Who else could I share the pleasure of imagining them doing Eurythmics' Caveman Head with; although it might almost be redundant as a cover! That's a total Healers groove.
