Wikipedia article




'The Bird Is the Most Popular Finger' is the third release by Shellac. The title is a parodic reference to the album 'The Pigeon Is the Most Popular Bird' by Six Finger Satellite, and was originally the title of an article on Shellac that appeared in the magazine Alternative Press after the release of the band's earlier singles. It is a two song 7" released in 1994 on Drag City. It was Shellac's first non-Touch and Go release.

The first song "The Admiral" is an instrumental version of a song that would later appear on Shellac's 'At Action Park' album later that year. "XVI" is an alternate version of the song "Pull the Cup", also on 'At Action Park'. Both songs were recorded in Todd Trainer's loft apartment, as documented by a photographic print included with the single. The liner notes detail every musical instrument and every piece of recording equipment used on the single.
