A is quite snappy. If B was the 75 Ubu version, I would have picked it.
My thoughts exactly.

But if it was the 75 Ubu version, it would have been disqualified, and in the P round you picked Pantherman...

Trifles.
I would've voted for the Pere Ubu version if had been allowed is what I meant (and I assume freap did too).

A was great, reminded me of the groop. Not too bothered about B.

A is a mess. The girls sound vaguely like the Shangs on one of the 'live' cover B-sides that they did, but Shadow would have never allowed that production. and the male vocalist, what a fucking wimp.
B would probably have been better if it was the original RFFT doing it, but it's three-fifths of the original band, plus the better guitarist from Television (oooh, mother, controversial) and a lot cleaner production than on those bootlegs. And yes, the Pere Ubu version is perfectly fine, but everyone has heard that and I thought people might enjoy this one. I habvered a long time over this versus their versions of Sonic Reducer and Life Stinks, and in hindsight should have gone with one of those since you've all suddenly discovered a taste for three minute noise-fests. Or maybe the Rivingtons or Ruth Etting or RQTN, but no, I went with a rejuvenated version of a classic and you all (mostly) dumped on it, you deaf cunts

B goes on a bit too long. It was getting boring , but then it went mental with some second rate guitar wankery. There are plenty of people in my wheelhouse that can do that SO much better.
A was a lot of fun, so

Girl Group Garage? Ok then.
RFTC
Has anyone mentioned that it’s not a patch on the Ubu version? Dick Lloyd’s good on this THO.

I like B a lot, but A is new to me and won me over immediately
