What’s the newest / latest released FBF song that you listen to the most.

I’m thinking for me it’s Virginia Reel. I listen to that thing a ton.

I think it’s telling that I knew right away no 2.0 song would make my list.

Thoughts?

Lately I've been really into those Christmass extra songs like She's My Way, Deadman's Curve, etc...it's weird, for me these are some of the greatest songs he's ever written but this era has a lot of songs that feel kind of hidden in the margins.

UCL, Andro Queen, Sent Away and Threshhold are all modern day repeat offenders.

I always still go back to the 1.0 era. Album survivor has inspired me to revisit some solo stuff recently though, otherwise I never find the space (always so much good stuff coming out from other bands)

Virginia Reel is a good song and should have been on the album.

I could chuck in more 2.0, I think IC is a far stronger album than HC (Eyrie really should have been GC, somehow). Magdalena and Greens & Blues are keepers that I keep coming back to. Magdalena sounds like pure Trompe to me.

I thought everybody said that Magdelena sounds like pure Bossanova?

Everyone except me, I dunno!
It's got that Trompe grunge tho, everything in Bossa has an airy kind of flavour.

Seus (Charles Normal), Tight Black Rubber, Lolita, Magdalena, Silver Snail, Snakes, Ring the Bell, Greens & Blues, Might as well be gone, and best of all Plaster of Paris.

Agree with those who there is more to IC than HC. I'd say HC is more coherent and IC has more flaws, but IC has far more depth.

Wow, never heard Annie Bliss (refuse to listen to the whole album since the radio guy's commentary is infuriatingly shite). Nice.

Painter Man Is Coming is probably the best song he's been involved in in recent times. Future of the Left creativity + Black Francis' vocals = my wet dream basically.

Plaster of Paris, Custom All The Way, Stars, Oona, Il Cuchaio, Alabaster, Virginia Reel, Run Boy Run and Baals Back are a few I play semi-regularly.
