Match BM: Mind Your Manners vs Happy When I'm Crying

[stip]

Match BM

[chewm]

Tough one, but I think I like Happy when Im Crying more.

[CopperTom]

I voted warp speed.

[stip]

Mind Your Manners is awesome. But if I know RM...

[Iholdthepain]

First impression was pleasantly surprised when I first heard MYM... Only got better live.

[Kevin Davis]

Uh, huh-huh, huh-huh -- Stip said "BM."

[BurtReynolds]

HWIC is much better.

[Kevin Davis]

"Mind Your Manners" remains my least favorite song in this band's catalog.

This surprises me, I really think they need to slow it the fuck down.

[Leatherhead]

"Mind Your Manners" remains my least favorite song in this band's catalog.

This also surprises me, MYM is pretty damn good.

No, man. No, it isn't.

I put MYM in the middle echelon of Lightning Bolt tracks. There are a few things about it I really like, like how much the chorus sounds like something Bob Mould would sing in later Hüsker Dü albums, but on the whole I think it's too tame and safe (I wrote about it on this post, pardon the blog-plug). "Happy When I'm Crying", however, never really grabbed me at all. I appreciate the weirdness of it, but the song itself never struck me as particularly clever, funny or memorable. It just kind of flops around languidly for a couple of minutes. I give MYM the edge on this one.

[Birds in Hell]

I'll give this to Happy When I'm Crying but I still think MYM is pretty good.

They put out a song or two like this on each album... a song to be played fast... like a race. It's probably the most organic aspect of who the band still is... and always has been... No way MYM should lose this round.

[William Bloke]

My 13 year old son loves MyM and I've never been a fan of HWIC, so this one is pretty straightforward for me.

[Lament]

Stip said "BM."

Match BM should have been Future Days vs. Bee Girl.

You whore!

[WtOB?]

yeah i'm pretty pissed at jorge for this too.

[Norah]

If he keeps this up he'll be out of the clique.

[Heathen]

Jorge is his own clique
