Do any of you guys listen to old Mission of Burma? Signals, Calls, and Marches in particular sounds like a post-punk REM. I'm pretty sure I read somewhere that Michael Stipe was copping one of the singer's voices.

Vs. is a great record.
Have to say I've not really enjoyed much of MOB's second act. Something about the tiny recordings on those early records was so charming; now everything sounds big and ugly.

I just finished listening to Reckoning. I wouldn't argue with someone saying it's their best but I still prefer AFTP. It might be their most consistent record whereas AFTP has higher highs.

Guys, I'm thinking we should just have this be the studio records plus any fully finished b-sides on the major GH packages (eponymous, In Time, And I Feel Fine, and Part Lies... ). The rest of the stuff is probably a bit too obscure.
So including everything from Dead Letter Office the list of 'b-sides' would include Romance It's a Free World Baby Fretless The Great Beyond Bad Day Animal Chance Revolution All the Right Friends A Month of Saturdays We All Go Back to Where we Belong Hallelujah
Stuff I arbitrarily think we should include because it's awesome Arms of Love First We Take Manhattan Draggin the Line Wall of Death Academy Fight Song Indian Summer See No Evil Sponge Love is All Around Photograph Live for Today New Orleans Instrumental Number 2

I wouldn't worry too much about which songs get byes and which ones don't. If a shitty song gets a first round bye it's not going to make it past round two so who cares?
