Ana, from the BBC recordings.

… the very essence of the word indie.

Break my body (Surfa Rosa) …the driving bassline that begat grunge……

At the end of the Surfer Rosa it is possibly the most overlooked song in all of their work. Also, the best song to end and album ever. The best song ever is The Brick is Red.

I'm hooked already. Debaser v Bone Machine is a nasty start, and I'll maybe have to hold my tongue for the moment but.. Somebody saying "Is She Weird" isn't that good? C'mon. Particularly the bbc sessions version. It's one of the best! Pffff Shooz Arriving here via brendadada central…

The beginning is more pounding and Kim Deals voice is crisper. I know you said you have to not dislike any of their songs to join in on this and I don't dislike any of them but I often wonder why even though I think they are one of the greatest bands ever I find some of the albums seem to have filler on. Maybe because the stand out tracks are so good? I can only think of Side 2 of Bossanova at the moment which to me always sounds like it has a few filler tracks on it. Havallina and Down to the well especially. Is she weird isn't so great either.

I've had a better look, realised I'm missing quite a few tracks thanks to originally having them on tape and never getting around to p2ping them and have come up with a more accurate figure of 85 tracks. That means 7140 play offs. At one a day we're looking at 19 years, six months and three weeks, give or take. I'm going to do it. Back on topic…
