Well, I'd never heard of "Ratcat" before, and I wish it had stayed that way.

Re: 90s Cup Round 1 Match 2
Ah, old Ratcat. Brings a nostalgic smile to my face, and naturally copping a BCB hammering. I love A and almost picked it myself - one of my faves from the album - but i'm giving B my sympathy vote.

You took the words right out of my mouth. A.
It's before my time but I've been told, he never came back from Karangahape Road.

There's two T's in "Elliott", A. I can't let such basic errors go unpunished.

First listen to either for me too and I thought exactly the same.
I liked A a little more though

Abstain.
Didn't like either of them one bit.

Oh, Elliot Smith is boring, isn't he? Here he's Bon Iver doing Dodgy.
Ratcat didn't exactly set this comp alive either, wanting to be The Rembrandts isn't an admirable ambition. But it's not fair that they get crushed by the equally bland smudger.

Like fast-moving clouds casting shadows against a hillside, the melody-loop shuddered with a sense of the sublime, the awful unknowable majesty of the world.

Re: 90s Cup Round 1 Match 2
Didn't particularly care for either, heard Elliott Smith songs that I much prefer to that chosen.
Ratcat were new to me & though I'd never purposely play it again, its pop playfulness just edged it.
B by the width of a midge's sigh.

Ratcat- we've been playing that greatest hts in our store the last week or so. It's good fun.
Elliott's track is not a bad one either but gotta support local on this one.

Fuck me A, well done picking the worst song on XO.
Still, Ratcat.
