Bee Thousand is incredibly lo-fi and most of those songs aren't anything more than fragments. I agree that it is a better record, but for the uninitiated I really don't think you can beat Do the Collapse.

Best Of for GBV might be ok, considering there are about 1,594,148 GBV songs in existence.

Fer real. Almost bought that Suitcase album on Record Store Day, then got worried it'd be too overwhelming.

Gah, no. Greatest Hits would be particularly bad for GBV. Like, half those songs are like ninety seconds long, and if you only hear two or three songs from each period of the bands looooong career you're not really going to get a feel for any one of them. I say take one from the early career, one from the later half and Do the Collapse.

I love Do the Collapse. AHBP*

Radio Dept. is really bad live. I love their music, and the actual chunes didn't suffer that much live, but the showmanship was that of a couple teenagers too afraid to jump into a lake from a three foot lifted dock. I'm still glad I can say I saw them, since they rarely tour in the states, but don't expect much performance wise.

They were about what I expected them to be live. Glad I can knock that set off my conflicts list when the time comes.

That's highly unfortunate, they've definitely been one of the acts I've been looking forward to. Hell hopefully a festival scene will be enough adrenaline to the bloodstream to get it going.

Haha, it was Coachella where I saw them. The lead singer even told the crowd how nervous he was. Another strike against them for using a drum machine.

Well I guess they'll need a few years to ferment. I'm getting increasingly more excited for Tokyo Police Club, because when I first started going to their shows 4/5 years ago, they were really struggling, but little by little they've become better performers... I can only hope Radio Dept. to have a similar growth process.

Yeah, it was the only time he addressed the crowd other than whispering, "thank you." I believe the direct quote was something like, "I'm a nervous wreck right now." I was there for the whole set, and got pretty close since there weren't a lot of people there standing.

anyone have a recommendation for a GBV album to start with?

Late to this discussion, but I'm going to agree with cbats, Bee Thousand and Alien Lanes. At least when GBV got back together, their reunion was labeled, "The Classic 93-96 Lineup." The four albums from that era also include Vampire on Titus and Under The Bushes Under The Stars.

Gramma likes Do The Collapse, but that album came out in 1999, so it's doubtful they will play any of that material. I know you didn't specifically ask, "where is the best place to start if I'm going to see them at Sasquatch," but that is what I assume you mean, so Bee Thousand and Alien Lanes is where it's at.
