Nothing particularly good or bad about A. In fact, 'nothing' just about sums it up.
I had a Noel Coward song (London Pride, since you don't ask) slated for the hippiedrill entry for N, but pulled it when I got this picker's list in. NC recorded this the year he wrote it, 1932, but never released it in his lifetime. Yes, it's very mannered (deliberately so, presumably), and UK record producer boffins were almost as useless in the 1930s as in the Fifties and Sixties, but I'm still voting for it.

If nothing else, thanks to this tie I've learned where Feargal Sharkey drew his vocal style inspiration from.

I stopped listening to Ameriindie once the first-to-mid flushes of Drag City and Thrill Jockey wore off. Where those labels flirted with the spirit of post-hardcore, stuff like this, the whole shrugging good song brigade, Tom Petty with a soupçon of Pixies, make me yawn.

B is a brave pick, I like it a lot.
But I prefer A, which is short and snappy and pushes ALL the right buttons in me.
