Song Of the Day: April 13, 2005
Here's the other half of the Doublehappys' nucleus in his formative stage. Shayne Carter was the very young singer for the very young Bored Games, who left only this one EP before they splintered. Carter, of course, went on to the Doublehappys, Straitjacket Fits, and Dimmer while Terry Moore and Fraser Batts became Chills. There's a humorous Snakes and Ladders-styled game on the back of the jacket which chronicles the band's existence and takes potshots at both the Clean and the Chills. But then, Bored Games were probably the most "punk" of all the FN bands, as "Bridesmaid" suggests. There's a great video for the song on the first Flying Nun DVD.

What a great bass sound.
I would've worn this vinyl out if I'd had it when I was fifteen.
Punk rock of the highest order! I like the early Flying Nun stuff, especially this one and yesterday's. Keep it up!
This is one of my favorite things of stuff you've put up, Jon. Thanks!
Are you ripping these as both full resolution and compressed? Or are you only archiving as compressed?
Amazing!! One of the best Little Hits!
does anyone else think this song influenced sonic youth's "goo"?
