tv shit is fab and in the fishtank 9. is a stunning record.
out of side projects my least favourite is the same as sway's, "not me" w/thurston and tom surgal, although i don't regret buying it at all, it's just a little dull. out of main releases it is probably Rather Ripped.

I love TV Shit and In the Fishtank, and that's all off the "semi-related" stuff I have, save for Psychic Hearts...
I need money, is the problem...
However, I don't care much for Washing Machine... three great tracks and a slew of mediocre tracks makes it their worst album by far. I don't regret buying it, though, it was the last album I needed.

Same, too. I just said it was probably the record I like the least from the ones I have, but I love it too ;=)

Yeah, that performance sounds pretty bogus, all right.

TV Shit because it is way to short for what I paid for it back in the day at the shitty record store in the mall.

i have to agree with screamingskull: in The Fishtank is ridiculous. other than the last track, it kinda sucked.

sun city girl 05.14.2007 02:42 AM

please just leave me (my desmond paul).

Protectmeyou 05.14.2007 04:59 AM

probably "Sister".

Isn't that a 10" from france? or am I thinking of something else.

The only thing I can think of is that Rodney and the Tube Tops single.

SY just don't let me down!

Iain 05.14.2007 10:06 AM

Why has no-one mention the Dim Stars yet? Utter rubbish.

pokkeherrie 05.14.2007 10:07 AM

I really love TV Shit actually. Dunno about In the Fishtank though.
Worst SY purchase for me were probably some crappy compilations that had one SY track on it which then later ended up on The Destroyed Room or Dirty/Goo deluxe. Or that Christmas compilation with one SY track on it. Got it for literally 1 cent off of ebay, but it's really terrible.

Please Just Leave me (my Paul Desmond) is probably the worst Thurston album I own, although I haven't listened to Kapotte Muziek or MRRR more than twice either. Some of his collaborations are really dull as well: Backbeat soundtrack, Dim Stars, to name some.
Can't really think of a Lee album that's really let me down, but my least favourites are probably Clouds and Bouquet.

thedim stars is a bit dull

Rob Instigator 05.14.2007 10:15 AM

I like the oldies.

Because that record kicked ass!

Magic Wheel Memory 05.14.2007 12:06 PM

For me, it would be a rancid burger that I bought at one of their shows last year. It sucked, homeboy!

whorefrost 05.14.2007 03:50 PM

Please Just Leave Me...
only got it a few weeks ago but listened to it once and has been subsequently shelved indefinitely..
wasn't too into Piece for Yvonne Rainer initially, but repeated spins have revealed it to be of some worth..
other than that, the worst Youth thing I got is Sonic Starpower, an atrocious quality bootleg CD I picked up in a used record store
