Oddly enough, I just found out that Fucked Up covered “Anorak City” as a B-side.

Yeah it’s the B-side to the UK version of the “Year of the Pig” 7″. Which is my least favorite version of that song.

To keep with the list making theme here is my preference for the versions of Year of the Pig:

1. EP Version (18 minute opus)
2. US Version
3. Japan Version
4. UK Version

Although, the UK version has one of the better B sides those in order:
1. The Black Hats (EP)
2. Anorak City (UK Version)
3. Mustaa Luna (US Version)
4. For My Friends (Japan Version)

In case you were curious, which you probably weren’t…
