The Grifterz Breast Of Comp:

[Cute Effin Bunny]

please list yr top 20 requests for an upcoming Grifters comp.

be verbose as we are also looking for liner notes, annectdotes and fashionable totes.

cover art suggestions appreciated as our artistic abilities have been decimated.


ready?.... Go Forth!

It's long been a dream of mine to name an album "Greatest Tits C/D."

But I would gladly give that dream to the Grifters gratis for free.

[Poop Fresh-Herbed Pickles]

I'm going to try very hard to think of things that will help you guys put this thing together, but even if all my ideas are worthless, will you still please give me a 'thank you' in the liner notes?

I've always wanted that to happen to me.

i can't really think of anything. a couple of reunion shows might jumpstart the thinkin' juices though. (shrugs)

[Poop Fresh-Herbed Pickles]

Y'know, I sort of hate all these "redux"/"anniversary" reissues of old classic albums that have all this bonus material on them.  It's kind of an insult to the fans making them buy the old album again to get the new stuff....still it might be a great idea for you guys to do something like this with "Crappin' You Negative" instead of just doing an ALL rarities disc.

I mean, it might be a bit crass, but I think it would have a broader appeal...while still giving us diehards stuff that we want too.

Sheesh, top ten Grifters songs?

[Doctor Rock]

Am I the only one who cares?  

1) Thumbnail Sketch
2) Queen of the table waters
3) His Jesus song
4) Get out of that spaceship
5) The Want
6) Just Passing out
7) Bummer
Eight) Teenage Jesus
9) Black Fuel accelerator
10) Skin Man Palace
11) Covered with flies
12) Banjo
13) X-Ray Hip
14) Day Shift
15) Corolla Hoist
16) Daydream riot
17) Radio City Suicide
18) Piddlebach
19) Maps of the Sun
20) Hate
21) Uhhh, I know, I know... Fit Soda Pop somewhere...
That's pretty much what this Grifters fan would put in it (and I'm probably forgeting a lot of stuff) but not necessarily in that order.  
22) shit, I can't stop... She Blows blasts of static

Done for now...

As for the liner notes, I suggest you just write down a couple of amusing tour stories involving fans or other bands.  This fan hates to read about how much other fans loved a band... But then again, I've been told that I'm an horrible rock snob who only cares about bands no one listens to... They're probably right.  

[Cute Effin Bunny]

honestly, I don't care for "Greatest Bests" packages meself. And "all rarities" are usually pretty sucky too.  I want to do a "live" set, cause every song we did was different when we played in together.  The only thing we never truly captured was what we did live. But something like that would involve us actually working together, which aint gonna happen.

Still, I would be interested in what ya'll (this is a vaguely Grifters-oriented message board) think are our best songs and why.  I know it sounds like homework but....

[Doctor Rock]

I hope I've shammed some people into collaborating!  

C'mon you motherfuckers!

[Doctor Rock]
