Maple leaves, It was a strange time in my life, most other songs from "Oh Your So Silent Jens,
But mostly, Rocky Dennis' Farewell Song
The part where he's like "And I wanted to explain it to you but it was too huge", that's some of my favorite lyrics ever
What is going on? Local Business is such a great album!
No album ever will be like the monitor, but I think in a lot of moments in local business, TA show their best song writing so far.
I think that unlike most "buzz bands" - If TA were your favorite band in 2010, there's a good chance they still are in 2013.
I want to say "What the hell is the point" but the fact is that I don't know all of the top 10. So I guess there is some point (and I'm going to listen right now).
My personal favorites missing here are "This wheel's on fire", "It takes a lot to laugh", "I shall be free" (and about 20 more songs)
Also, It would be cool to read a top 10 taken only from bootlegs
I'd like to rank the worst choices on stereogum lists of 2013.
Omitting Heroin from VU's top 10 songs? Wowee Zowee's pavement best album? So many to choose from!
She took this gig for a lot of money probably. Should have know what she was getting into. If she wanted love from the crowd she shouldn't have cancelled all of those gigs for the thousands of fans that would kill to see her
Gabe, it was a pleasure.
You are truly gifted. I wish you the best of luck in whatever you do.
Hope I'll get to enjoy your work on some other medium soon.
I absolutely agree. I always thought of this album as like a female version of Pavement or GBV. 90's indie songs that are very sarcastic and tongue-in-cheek but somehow those are some of the greatest songs ever written.
My favorites are Flower and Divorce Song
I absolutely agree. I thought it was gonna go downhill for the Flaming Lips after At War with the Mystics, which just makes me love them so much more for going this direction.
