Come on! Once again, I love disag...MICE FEEL NICE!<br /><br />Come on! Once again, I love disagreeing here. What a beautiful SONG. And yes, I do consider it a song.<br /><br />Such great chords. Vocals are a bomb. The sound of the low pitched guitars. Everything.<br /><br />(A friend of mine actually covered it once).Jürgen De Blondehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05291967208446258973noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19872823.post-49571399547493382502017-07-05T21:42:50.920-07:002017-07-05T21:42:50.920-07:00Again, I agree with your assessment.

Same songs on my list. <br /><br />Mice Feel Nice may very well be Pollard's finest/most original piece of performance art (rather than singing or playing).

IIIIIIIIIITTT IS GOOOOOD!!!! heard this song today and it blew my fuckin mind. this song helped me make the transition from "casual but very-loving fan" to "total fuckin GBV nutjob" back in '04.

It's the song that made me into a GBV-fan. I heard it at a friend's as a first acquaintance with GBV. It sounded like a beautiful drunk tramp. Later I became of the opinion thaT the singing in this song is so soul that it really ought to knock anyone's socks off. <BR/>A matter of taste, perhaps.Martenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08383945797885018886noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19872823.post-1156477914774755872006-08-24T20:51:00.000-07:002006-08-24T20:51:00.000-07:00I made a short EP for a friend of mine called "Gas...I made a short EP for a friend of mine called "Gas Music From Dayton, OH". I put 11 songs on it; the first five were the noisiest, most obnoxious GbV songs I could find in my collection (which is by no means complete at all...). The 5 "noisies" start off with, you guessed it "Not Good for the Mechanism". It's absolutely unrepentantly obnoxious...but how ELSE should a song about something jamming up the works sound?<BR/><BR/>Anyway, after "Mechanism" and 4 other really hard-to-listen-to cuts (can you hear "Blue Moon Fruit"?), I break the spell with "Dodging Invisible Rays", and it's like the sun coming out after a really bad lightning storm, just all bouncy beat and great guitars!<BR/><BR/>Oh, and as I've mentioned before, I like this version of "MVHK". OK, it's not the skwonky-guitar masterpiece from Alien Lanes, but I really like the staccato handclaps at the end, and the way the monstrous guitar sound kicks in on the second repeat of the chorus. Awesome!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19872823.post-1138482953138690122006-01-28T13:15:00.000-08:002006-01-28T13:15:00.000-08:00my first listening to gbv back in 95.my favorite b...my first listening to gbv back in 95.<BR/>my favorite big sound, home recording,the weirdy,the definitive harmonies.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
