I thought Bam Thwok was stupid the first time I heard it.

Stupid doesn't mean bad. Yeah it's stupid and I never listen to it but I kind of like it.

I kind of like it. The bridge is the best part, I really love that. If it wasn't sung by Kim, I'd like for them to pull it out in concert. They could do something weird during the bridge. It's an all right song.

I still love this song, I find it way better than any of the 2014 material (which I do more or less like).

Not that anyone cares, but I've always thought this song sucked. Sounds like a Breeders outtake or something. When they released it I kind of thought, "what the fuck is this? hope this isn't a harbinger of things to come".... Fortunately, it wasn't.



My density has popped me to you.

I always assumed it was an approving reference to the comedy legend that is Fozzy. But I do love the song.

I like the song for the fact that it helped bury the hatchet, but its more of a footnote than anything. It didn't go down well live the few times they played it.

Really, it went down the same as any of the "Indie Cindy" tracks performed live... from my perspective. I remember reading that it was Kim that didn't like the mild applause.
