Leftover B-Sides
 
I understand that not all b-sides/outtakes were included on the destroyed room. please could someone give me a list of b-sides/outtakes spanning through the whole of SY career which have not ended up on album reissues or the destroyed room. I have My Arena which is great, i personally don't understand why it wasn't on the destroyed room.

The Destroyed Room isn't included in The Destoyed Room. Kinda ironic, innit?
As for the list, I guess you'd be better off checking Chris Lawrence's Sonic Bible.

the destroyed room is amazing, i suppose it rightfully ended up on the dirty deluxe edition, perhaps why they didn't include any b-sides from goo/dirty?

tasteinmen 03.17.2008 04:38 PM

judging by that list hardly any of them are actually available, e.g. "stranger". it doesn't on any album, does this mean the song isn't available to download anywhere?

Chris Lawrence 03.18.2008 12:09 AM

most of them are available in one form or another, 'stranger' being the rare exception, i guess...

1234 - live only, instrumental
audience - not really a 'song', compilation-only
bee-bee's song - legitimate original song (kim vocal)
blooze blurr - not surfaced
broken eye - live noise collage
clippers - kinda cool instrumental from late 80s radio session
coca neon - french EP/download only, a 'real' song (alt of 'move away' from demonlover)
come and smash me - a good lee-vocal original from '85, weird
compilation blues - original tune from jet set sessions, thurston vox
corporate ghost - late 80s radio
derniere minute - french EP/mixtape, etc
destroyed room - probably left off the compilation cuz it was on dirty deluxe, yes
dig this! - garbage
drummer is fine - mixtape only instrumental, download from sy.com
eyeliner - original song, outtake from 'rather ripped'
eyes & teeth - fucked up piece of shit, thurston vox
helen lundeberg - original song, outtake from rather ripped
i love you mary jane - w/ cypress hill
J'accuse ted hughes -- SYR7!
kat n hat - long forgotten '85 tune hopefully appearing on forthcoming mixtape (please?)
le paysage zim zum - french EP
lord of your thighs - brief noise joke
made in USA - alt version, download from sy.com
magic air - not available
magic wand - original track from '85, thurston vocal
major label chicken feed - late 80s radio
my arena - awesome (!) original from washing machine, t/k vox
noisefest track - pfft
non-metal dude - alt vers of eliminator jr
ruben's beard - late 80s radio
social static - download only, noise drone
spinhead - mixtape only, made in usa outtake (awesome)
stranger - not available
su nioj - goofy rain king improv type
sweet emotion - noise joke
tabla in suburbia - legitimate SYR type instrumental
terry's carrot - ridiculous 18 minute tedious noise exercise
theme from things behind/think it over - i think you can download this one from sy.com?
you pose you lose - kinda on daydream reissue now

all of the covers listed (add "i'm not there") are extremely worth tracking down, too.

the list of songs above doesn't include any of the 'destroyed room' songs, or non-LP stuff collected on the deluxe reissues. so, these would basically be the 'outtakes' from 'destroyed room', though in reality i think only a few tracks could've been seriously considered from this list (especially if you're only counting geffen era material) :

- Bee-Bee's Song
- Compilation Blues
- The Destroyed Room (on Dirty reissue)
- Genetic (on Dirty reissue)
- Hendrix Necro (on Dirty reissue)
- Helen Lundeberg
- Eyeliner
- My Arena
- Tabla in Suburbia

So you can see, they only have a handful of remaining legitimate vocal 'outtakes' that didn't appear on "Destroyed Room", though I have to say that "Bee-Bee's Song" and "My Arena", and hey, even "Compilation Blues" are fucking great tunes.

Find the covers, stick these tunes w/ em, maybe the French EP (Kali Yug) stuff, and you'd have a fair companion to Destroyed Room....

I always loved Bee-Bee's song. Thanks for that nice post, Chris!

Chris, I will forever disagree with you on this point. I love this song.

tasteinmen 03.18.2008 09:51 AM

thanks for your help chris, that list was very useful, i'd be interested in making that compilation with kali yug, do you want to suggest a tracklist for me?
