The question at hand is this: What songs would you bring back at The Features' shows if you could? Rank up to the top five that you would want to hear at shows again. Here is my list:

1. The Design
2. D-Con (Radio One)
3. Anti-Gravity Class of '93
4. Your Smile
5. Discotheque or Temporary Blues

Let me note that this list may be amended at some point. These are just the songs that I would love to see them play. I am interested in all of your answers.

Having seen them once, its hard for me to comment. But looking at some of the recent setlists...

1. Engine Debris
2. D-Con (Radio One)
3. Paid to Think
4. Roger's Theme
5. Hey Lou

(Edited by Wiyum at 4:32 pm on Jul. 8, 2002)

What a great topic! For my list, I'll use four fan favorites and a personal choice:

1. Jurley
2. D-Con
3. Your Smile
4. Hey Lou
5. Stick Together

They still play 'The Design' and 'Temporary Blues' fairly regularly.

As for my list:

01 Don't Lie to Me
02 Roger's Theme
03 Disco (not Discotheque)
04 Laid
05 Your Smile

Paid to Think (played more often)
D-con (Radio One)
Attention
That's Me
Serious

I also want to hear Captain Williams again.

1-Don't Lie
2-Burma (only once so far this year??)
3-Anti-Gravity Class of '93
4-Harold (also only once I think)
5-Psycho Santa

I'd love to hear Rabbit March, though it wouldn't be a resurrection since I don't think it was ever played live? Not sure though.

Rabbit March would make my day. It is actually one of my favorites.

Did you witness 'Psycho Santa'?

I remember a long time ago my friend said that they put on a great live show and that once they all performed in rabbit costumes. For some reason I accepted it, but I hadn't considered it, other than confirmation when "Rabbit March" was the B-side to Thursday. Did this actually happen to anyone's knowledge, because I'm now very skeptical...

Will

In no order

Treehouse Club
Rabbit March
Disco (not discotheque)
Roger's Theme
Grapevine

I wouldn't mind hearing the Design occasionally, but I was never a huge fan of that one. Sorry.

It's true. I personally did not see it, but I know people who did. By the way, they weren't just rabbit costumes, they were pink rabbit costumes.

Rabbit March should be played again (did they ever play it?) what is pyscho santa????? never heard that one.

Forget bringing back songs... bring that back!

Will

burma & harold.
old school features song: smooth

Yes, I was lucky enough to be there. And it was only about my fourth Features show ever, so needless to say it made me even more obsessed.

So, does anyone remember that group before the psycho santa set that included Santa Claus and his Bitch?

As I recall, they were a bunch of young punks with some silly name like "Sneaker Eaters" or "Odor Eaters" or some such nonsense.

Recordings exist of "Psycho Santa"

Top 5 songs I miss

Jurley
Radio One
Your Smile
Stay Together
Hey, Lou

I'd rather they just be saved for sets every now and then than become staples in Features sets.

Santa Claus and Santa's Bitch were actually part of 'Psycho Santa'.

PS - What would one have to do to obtain a copy of Psycho Santa, YDDD?

wow, young punks...thanks?

i've got to hear this song!

they need to play your smile again. i was thinking about that last night. its such a good song.

I saw the show that they dressed up like rabbits. They opened for Self in 1996 at 328, and it was the first time I had ever heard of the Features. They were all in white easter bunny costumes as I recall. Some of the guys wore masks or ears. I just remember seeing them crowd surf in bunny costumes was hilarious.

Rabbit March, like all the other songs from the Miss album and Thrusday single etc were played when Don Sergio was in the line-up. The band scrapped most of their back catalog when Don left. The notable ones that they kept and occasionally (or often or always) play are Circus, 33 1/3, Thursday, and Paid to Think. There might be another one I'm not rhinking of.

The second or third time I saw them, there were all of abot 10 people at the Boro, and the band hadn't planned a set. All audience members were friends of the band, and they yelled out songs for them to play. One of those was "Rabbit March", and Matt said, "We haven't played it since we lost a guitarist." They then played it.

As for the recording in question, just e-mail me.

paid to think
roger's theme
extension chord
hey lou
armani suede(while played on occassion, needs to be played more often)

that is the absolute greatest thing i have heard in my entire life.

Armani Suede

The first Features show I ever saw the entire band (at least the ones who were standing) were dressed in band uniforms and somebody, perhaps Roger, played an instrument involving an egg. Very vague memories... but fun.

Oooohhh yeah. How could I forget? Maybe I drank a lot that night.

So wow... this actually finally happened. The band brought back alot of songs they hadn't played in a long time. Many of my picks were played, even though they wouldn't remotely be the picks I'd make now. But the band played those too.

Who would have thought that it would happen?

Don't ask me how I stumbled on suich an old post.

Will

Ahh...someone else was there to see the beauty!!! Still my favorite show to this day!!

1) Don't Lie to Me
2) Serious
3) Armani Suede
4) Temporary Blues
5) Harold

As much as I want to say Jurley and Your Smile, they just don't fit anymore. I could see these worked in to an occasional set, though:

1- Paid to Think
2- Moonlight (becoming too much of a rairity)
3- Burma
4- Don't Lie to Me
5- Harold

parrish's keyboards sound so freaking awesome on your smile though...... it's a shining moment.....

1-Paid To Think
2-Jurley
3-Serious
4-Don't Lie To Me
5-Harold
...6-Your Smile.

i really dont see the appeal of Burma. i guess its just me though

1. Your smile
2. Armani Suede (needs to be played more often!)
3. Paid to think
4. Temporary Blues
5. Serious

burma rocks!!!

and I second carl's list

I think is would be cool if they brought back to bunny suits

I agree... especially if they played at my next party.

i want an invite.
i'll bring party favors.

"Darkroom" would be great background music to Paris Hilton porn, I think.

I took a break from sucking to type this list:

1. Your Smile
2. Paid to Think
3. Treehouse Club
4. Temporary Blues
5. Captain Williams

I took a break from getting sucked to type this list:

1. Paid To Think
2. Don't Lie To Me
3. Temporary Blues
4. Damage Is Done
5. Captain Williams

I would like to hear Discotheque and Jurley sometimes. Maybe on a special occasion.

Armani Suede is good, but I find it (and Jurley) lower on my totem pole due to their lyrics. I don't think Burma is that great. It's ok.

Totally.

Don't worry, you'll be invited. Have you met EnemyRoses? Maybe you two would like to make out at my party?

there is something that needs to be said for this...i dont know what...but there is something.
you crazy kids.

To my knowledge, I have never met EnemyRoses, but I'm assuming she's hot. It's been a long, long time since I've gone to a party and just made out with a stranger, man or woman.

I'm actually looking forward to this now.

*said in the style of a rapper*

I want to give a shout-out to Mr. Ray Davies for hooking me up with killa links! He's my boy-eeee!

ok...now im getting jealous.

Oh, HoneyPie...it's all right. I want to cuddle you now....you still get makeouts before anyone else.

I feel so popular and slutty!

What's the difference?

I wouldn't mind hearing Jurley more often, but yeah, the lyrics leave lots to be desired. It's fun though.

Armani Suede should show up more often too. I think it's the sexiest Features song.

I wish I could hear more PAID TO THINK!!! It sounded so damn polished at the show that it shouldn't be a challenge. Ok, Features?

I would also like to hear more:

Your Smile
Burma
Serious
Jurley (Just 'cause it's fun, ya know)

When it comes to the Features, though, I am usually content with any show I go to because they all rock.
