I Luv the Valley OH!

Stewart is credited as writer and McCulloch as producer. An earlier "I Love the Valley" is on the EP Inside the Computer Are All of My Feelings (3:39), with a live version recorded in San Jose, and it became this song. Wikipedia calls the track the album's single, and a 2019 Portland review called it the band's only real hit. We found no Stewart interview explaining it; the Wikipedia article on Dear God, I Hate Myself says that album's "Hyunhye's Theme" nods to this song, which it says concerns, among other things, a Korean diaspora in a Los Angeles valley.

Pitchfork placed it 176th on its Top 500 Tracks of the 2000s in 2009, where Brian Howe wrote that a great Xiu Xiu song is like someone actually hurting himself, right in front of you, though this one is their most scouring rather than their most violent. PopMatters's Begrand called the opening especially great, and Scene Point Blank called it the band's very best song. Setlist.fm counts 145 plays, third among Xiu Xiu songs behind "Sad Pony Guerrilla Girl" (174) and "Fabulous Muscles" (148).

Her Space Holiday covered it on Remixed and Covered (April 10, 2007), XO Skeletons recorded it as a digital bonus track, Shearwater included it on Fellow Travelers (Sub Pop, November 2013), and Corrina Repp covered it for Kill Rock Stars's 30th anniversary series in December 2021. Our upload carries three exclamation marks in its title, and we do not know whether it is the studio version, a remix or a live one.
