This Is Just a Modern Rock Song

This Is Just a Modern Rock Song is Belle & Sebastian's fourth EP, released in 1998 on Jeepster Records. The front cover features Alan Horne, founder of Postcard Records. It is the only Belle & Sebastian release never to be issued in North America, although all four tracks from the EP were later collected on the Push Barman to Open Old Wounds compilation. A chart ruling was put into place shortly before the EP was released stating singles or EPs must contain no more than three tracks and last no longer than 20 minutes in total to be eligible for the UK singles sales chart, and thus – with its four tracks and carefully crafted total running time – This Is Just a Modern Rock Song failed to chart.

gollark: They quite like the idea, so I can probably have a few raspberry pis and speakers for this.
gollark: Well, I wanted to automatically play per-person theme music upon entry of people to the computer science department at school.
gollark: It's not particularly evil, since it will only be used to identify opting-in things.
gollark: But I skimmed a paper on it and apparently the randomization can be workarounded in some cases by sending RTS frames with the device's "hardcoded" MAC address and seeing if you get a CTS frame back.
gollark: This would have been doable by just checking the MAC address against a list several years ago, but evil beeoids also did this so now phones and such have randomization.
