Walrus Grab Bag 4 Reveal

Back when actually owning albums was a thing I had more by The Sun City Girls than anyone else. I still do, just they’re largely in boxes in attics. They deserve better.

Which leaves one to go, surely submitted by someone who I fear has hacked the system at cassetteINC…

The GOLD medal and 12 points goes to … St Vincent - These Days

This is kind of awkward (or cool?) because I don’t really like St. Vincent. I’ve tried a few of her albums several times, but they just do nothing for me. Not sure why. But this is great. Solo live performances are my Kryptonite (anti-Kryptonite?). She looks pretty young for this category. Edit: Google says she’s 38, so yeah, probably checks out. I guess 11 years isn’t actually that long. Nice one!!

Ummmm. There were no Yoko v. Taker matches in the early 2000s. He died in Oct 2000

This is a cover of a Nico song, I think, so that might be why too.

(Not bitter, I like it, honest!)

I’m glad you liked it. I figured you hadn’t seen this before. There are a bunch of videos of her live solo acoustic performances around this time that are so endearing.

Thank you for the extended version.

I know we are in a pandemic but the fact he didnt do a 20 minute remix of this after Trump lost the election makes me endlessly sad

Torch of the Mystics is great and their most approachable work, and it has the original of the song I submitted on.

Thanks as always for the reveal, My Cassette! Love that you brought back the youtube comments.

I am sitting on a whole bunch of rap bangers for you, just waiting for the right category.

You get to drop one, right? Nano is only 2 points behind if you take the best 3 categories! Go nano!

Two to be dropped, so arguably even better given Nano’s remaining scores are then only three shy of perfect.
