"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.

they def have on the WFMU fundraisers.

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

Montgomery Burns' Jazz (Tarfumes The Escape Goat), Thursday, 4 June 2015 13:59 (nine years ago) link

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)

Ah, cool! Will check out.

are we finishing tonight or tomorrow?

The burrito of ennui (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Thursday, 4 June 2015 22:52 (nine years ago) link

Damage. That's my favorite of their slow songs.

kornrulez6969, Thursday, 4 June 2015 22:54 (nine years ago) link

i'm thinking of finishing tonight. unless ilxors want otherwise of course.

Van Horn Street, Thursday, 4 June 2015 23:00 (nine years ago) link

Only 15 more--I'd finish.

clemenza, Thursday, 4 June 2015 23:00 (nine years ago) link

I'll roll a little more slowly today

Van Horn Street, Thursday, 4 June 2015 23:07 (nine years ago) link

Too low, etc, etc. (I was one of the #1 votes.) Still, first track to appear on a (slight) majority of all ballots, seemingly!

You would not think to look at him but he was famous long ago.

clemenza, Thursday, 4 June 2015 23:28 (nine years ago) link

I figured this was a lock for the top ten. There are going to be some surprises.

kornrulez6969, Thursday, 4 June 2015 23:35 (nine years ago) link

I am going to be sad if no 80s tracks make it on here. Also, I haven't heard any of the post y2k stuff so I have a bias.

so good

rip van wanko, Thursday, 4 June 2015 23:48 (nine years ago) link

Their best "The Blue Mask" homage.

The burrito of ennui (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Friday, 5 June 2015 00:09 (nine years ago) link

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.

clemenza, Friday, 5 June 2015 00:11 (nine years ago) link

Completely serendipitous: Cherry Chapstick/Cesar Cedeno.

clemenza, Friday, 5 June 2015 00:12 (nine years ago) link

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

Van Horn Street, Friday, 5 June 2015 00:27 (nine years ago) link

I always thought Cherry Chapstick was just a rehash of Sugarcube!

rip van wanko, Friday, 5 June 2015 00:31 (nine years ago) link

I always thought they were both inferior versions of Tom Courtenay

kornrulez6969, Friday, 5 June 2015 00:37 (nine years ago) link

I don't remember how I voted but I'd say #teamsugarcube

Van Horn Street, Friday, 5 June 2015 00:39 (nine years ago) link

Cherry Chapstick is the story of my life that being said, it brings the feels.

Van Horn Street, Friday, 5 June 2015 00:39 (nine years ago) link

wow, thought Sugarcube would have been top 5 for sure

Top five for me, and Georgia Hubley's closest Moe Tucker moment.

The burrito of ennui (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Friday, 5 June 2015 00:54 (nine years ago) link

Nice to see Little Eyes finish so high. This must be their highest-placing song post-And Then Nothing....

I love this song too.

kornrulez6969, Friday, 5 June 2015 01:11 (nine years ago) link

Damage was my number one, Our Way to Fall my number two

Pablo and Andrea (Electr-O-Pura)

Van Horn Street, Friday, 5 June 2015 01:25 (nine years ago) link

Top five incoming!

Van Horn Street, Friday, 5 June 2015 01:26 (nine years ago) link

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.

Van Horn Street, Friday, 5 June 2015 01:34 (nine years ago) link

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

ufo, Friday, 5 June 2015 01:40 (nine years ago) link

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

mookieproof, Friday, 5 June 2015 01:43 (nine years ago) link

Very happy to have "Pablo and Andrea" place so high... Top 3 for me - love the guitar sound on that track.

Y'all like "Little Eyes" and "Our Way to Fall" a lot more than I do.

Deeper into Movies was mine.
