had no idea until a second ago that "Armenia City In the Sky" is the source of the high-pitched sample in "Moby Octopad"
I don't think I realized this, either -- I thought the sound was similar, but didn't think it was a sample.
Also, I always found it odd that the most Who-like live band I've ever seen never covered a Who song.

"Night Falls" was my #1. my fav vocals on a YLT song. I like to take the title literally and hear it like a summer day ending, collapsing into crickets. the best YLT show I saw, they opened with it, went on like 45 minutes, had a gong player. there was really nowhere else to go after that.

Hm, didn't know that. I scanned a list of all known YLT covers and didn't see any Who.

yeah you can hear "mary anne with the shaky hands" on murdering the classics -- obviously an off-the-cuff version, but nice all the same (they don't exactly murder it)

Their best "The Blue Mask" homage.

Haven't counted, but the albums and singles results don't seem to jibe. I Can Hear won the albums, but I think Inside-Out (4th) placed many more songs.

Completely serendipitous: Cherry Chapstick/Cesar Cedeno.

I'm missing the Blue Mask/Cherry Chapstick connection, but it sounds great.

Our Way To Fall is one of those songs that gives me so much hope about love and relationships. The opposite of Cherry Chapstick which can be crushing.

surprised to see Pablo and Andrea so high, it's nice but never stood out as a highlight

Pablo and Andrea was on the lower part of my ballot. It's a good song with a master guitar solo.
