Yo La Tengo - And Then Nothing Turned Itself Inside-Out

great album. somehow i associate it with summer nights maybe due to the cover. when this came out we had just moved to our house on the countryside. on the tour this did not work as well as on cd. i almost fell asleep iirc. i think it is more of an atmospheric background album. not a lot happening really but that is fine. very nice music to fall asleep to.

q: is there a better bridge than the one in 'crying of lot g'?
a: no

(or would you call it the chorus, or coda, or what? the 'the way that i feel when you laugh is like laughing' part)

it would be a bridge if there was something that it connected to another verse or chorus, but as is, it's more of a coda, or perhaps an alternate chorus. but yeah, it's so good.

but to your question - "is there a better bridge than the one in 'crying of lot g'?" - there aren't many, but one example is on the same album (the "please tell me how you know tomorrow / staring at your shoes" section of "tears are in your eyes"), which without checking i know i've probably talked about in this thread multiple times. it always sticks with me

er d'oh, i meant the "Although you don't believe me, you are strong / Darkness always turns into the dawn / And you won't even remember this for long / When it ends alright" section from the same song, just before

I figured you meant that and yeah it's sublime too

I don't really like this band but "let's save tony orlando's house" is amazing

Liner notes: "When in Nashville, visit Prince's Hot Chicken Shack."

I personally prefer Hattie B's, better sides imho.

Man, I must have really got burned by Prince's around this time, because this is entirely shitty advice. They're both great (and yes Hattie B's sides are better), but Prince's is a fucking institution.

(my vote for "Last Days Of Disco" still stands, one of my top 5 YLT songs)

the crying of lot g is one of the most beautiful songs i've ever heard

my CD of this is lost, doubled up in some other CD case

I still keep the digipak in the hope that it will someday turn up when I play one of the thousand CDs it could be hidden in
