I'm seeing them next Saturday, not sure what it will be like, but anyway.
Favourite version of 30 Seconds Over Tokyo = RFTT - The Day The Earth Met...
Favourite version of Sonic Reducer = Dead Boys - Younger, Louder & Snottier
Favourite song? Jury is still out.

Haven't really listened to the reunion band that much. Do like that guitar rumble where you later get Ravenstine on the Earth Met the recordings. But I think I might still prefer 70s Ubu.Though the Day Earth Met the is a fantastic record I'd readily recommend to anybody into protopunk/hard rock stuff. Do love that lp and do wish there was more of them from then.

Reunion version of "Sonic Reducer" is pretty cool.

From this latest, Black Record, I mean.

Still voted for 30 Seconds though.

Anyway, love all the original RFTT stuff on The Day The Earth Met The..., never really delved into the Pere Ubu catalog much, perhaps need to rectify that, see there in big holes in it in the streaming services.

You can find it for sale for a fairly reasonable price at Amazon and Discogs.

30 seconds should win this in a landslide. The rftt version is phantastic. It takes no prisoners.

aint it fun by rocket From The Tombs is so stooges and so great. i put it on a dc hardcore playlist i made years ago and forgot about it. perfect stinking attitude music for lockdown frustration.

stinking attitude isnt quite right actually, its a combination of not GAF, nihilism, but also melancholic
