Talk:Superfueled Freaksickle

From This Might Be A Wiki

Okay, I will be forever furious that this has never been released by Elektra. I can never find bootlegs, and I can't find the EPs that contain the b-sides that I love so much from this collection (Sensurround, Unforgotten, Ondine, She Was A Hotel Detective, etc.) and...well, I'm just steaming mad. - Overjoy

How may I acquire this, anyway? ~Anna Ng hears your words.

It's really a playlist to make for yourself if you have the songs, not meant to be a circulated bootleg. -CapitalQ / @ / 01:35, 22 October 2006 (UTC)
Crap...then how do I go about acquiring some of these songs? :/ ~Anna Ng hears your words.
eBay, or you can listen to a bunch on TMBG Clock Radio. -CapitalQ / @ / 13:30, 22 October 2006 (UTC)

It should be called "Mourning Becomes Elektra".

You win. ~Anna Ng hears your words. 18:17, 12 April 2007 (UTC)

As I'm sure all of you have noticed, Employee Of The Month said something about Superfueled Freaksickle...does this possibly mean that it might be released? I'll keep my fingers crossed! ~Anna Ng hears your words. 18:17, 12 April 2007 (UTC)

I noticed something interesting, but just related it to this album. A lot of the b-side/EP tracks from Clock Radio had track numbers that were X out of 29. Could this have been a 'rip' of Superfueled Freaksickle? I only ever got 26 of the 29, but here's what the list looked like:

  1. James K Polk
  2. Stormy Pinkness
  3. Ant
  4. One More Parade
  5. Your Racist Friend (remix)
  6. Welcome to the Jungle
  7. I Blame You
  8. Moving to the Sun
  9. Cabbagetown
  10. Siftin'
  11. She's Actual Size (remix)
  12. DON'T HAVE
  13. Why Does the Sun Shine So? (demo)
  14. Jessica
  15. Whirlpool
  16. Spy (original version)
  17. DON'T HAVE
  18. DON'T HAVE
  19. Ondine
  20. She Was a Hotel Detective
  21. Mrs. Train
  22. Snail Shell (another remix)
  23. Sensurround
  24. 25 O'Clock
  25. Sensurround (other version)
  26. Unforgotten
  27. We've Got a World That Swings
  28. Oddball (Mono Puff)
  29. Triptaphane (Mono Puff)

Granted, I think it'd be a little weird to include Mono Puff songs on there, but makes you think, doesn' it? If I had to guess, 17 and 18 would be O Tannenbaum and Christmas Cards, not sure about 12 though. -Joltman 12:28, 8 May 2007 (UTC)

Oh, wow, nice find! If I ever collect all the tracks, I'm using that there playlist. Seeing as how it follows chronological order for the most part, yes, O Tannenbaum and Christmas Cards are those two. And as for the last missing track, maybe Rocket Ship? Akagi 03:08, 15 May 2007 (UTC)
I have an official guess for what track 12 would be: Particle Man (Live At Mountain Stage). It's the only track I can find that was released in the timeframe around the tracks before and after it. -Joltman 12:15, 17 May 2007 (UTC)
Hmm, I'm not sure sure on that one. It's kinda weird to have one live track in a mix of 28 studio-recorded tracks. But yes, it is either or one of our two guesses or an unreleased song. My guess is still Rocket Ship, which is from 1992 and therefore also flows with the chronological order. Though one thing I noticed is that The Guitar's tracks come before I Palindrome I's tracks... so does that mean the release dates for those EPs are wrong on their respective pages? Akagi 13:01, 17 May 2007 (UTC)
I was thinking that live track because it was a released non-album track at the time, whereas Rocket Ship wasn't released until a few years later on a TMBG thing. As for the Guitar/Palindrome EPs, I noticed that too, but I doubt we have the wrong dates here, because our dates match Amazon and the catalog number for Guitar is before the catalog number for Palindrome -Joltman 13:48, 17 May 2007 (UTC)
You all are forgetting The Statue Got Me High (EP) which includes Which Describes How You're Feeling (Demo Version) and I'm Def. They are the only other songs from 1992 or 1993. As you can tell, this entire list is nothing more than every non-album release from 1990's Istanbul (Not Constantinople) (EP) to 1996's S-E-X-X-Y (EP) in order (except Guitar and Palindrome are switched). Even the tracks are in the order they appear on their respective EPs (minus all of the album tracks). This is pretty much how Miscellaneous T listed its tracks as well (except backwards). For those of you keeping score at home, these are the releases. --badqueso 14:16, 17 May 2007 (UTC)
The thing is, though, there's only space left for one more track, but there's two on The Statue Got Me High EP. And I figure they were left out because the tracks were already released on Then: The Earlier Years for some reason. Akagi 14:54, 17 May 2007 (UTC)
I agree about the Statue tracks, I didn't consider them since they were on Then, and Then was released in early 1997, the same year that Superfueled Freaksickle was supposed to come out. I still stand by the live Particle Man track, and there's nothing you can do about it :P -Joltman 16:42, 17 May 2007 (UTC)
This 29 track version is taken straight from a fan-made bootleg, which was distributed via alt.music.tmbg about 8 years ago. Here's the google groups link to the discussion [1]. Everything was ripped directly from the original CDs, or vinyl. The Mono Puff tracks were only included because there was just some leftover space on an 80 minute CD-R. It also had a second disc, which inluded all official remixes. I bought one back then, for a nominal fee, but I've since manage to find a copy of every Elektra era single (without resorting to ebay), besides the Statue Got Me High one, those tracks are on Then anyway. -leeb
Wait, so that means that whoever uploaded the files for Clock Radio ripped them from a bootleg? I find that amusing. Akagi 16:00, 21 November 2007 (UTC)
It appears that way, doesn't it. That's incredible. TMBG collects TMBG bootlegs too. --Oddjob 20:24, 21 November 2007 (UTC)
