was really hoping to find Oneida's live cover of "The Room Got Heavy" they did back in maybe 07-08 at a show I saw in Boston. so great.

there is another great cover missing in the list upthread. yoko ono's "don't worry, kyoko (mommy's only looking for her hand in the snow" on "yo la tengo is murdering the classics".

it's the distortion, stupid! (alex in mainhattan), Friday, 15 May 2015 08:23 (nine years ago) link

Need to revisit the last few albums before I submit my ballot, I'm a casual YLT fan compared to most people here I'm sure but they have a lot of songs I love.

VHS: I'll get my list to you today. I have 25 images ready to go--I assume you'll need more than that (40?). It's pretty easy to get another 15 ready.

yeah, i can't do this. usta know the catalog really well, but... i threw it all away.

got my ballot in. top 10 or so was very easy to figure out but then the rest took forever to narrow down

ufo, Sunday, 17 May 2015 12:57 (eight years ago) link

I will send mine tomorrow

Just go on instinct dude. I didn't have time to relisten to stuff either.

Clem: I think 40 is a good number for now.

Van Horn Street, Sunday, 17 May 2015 16:19 (eight years ago) link

Voted!

da croupier, Sunday, 17 May 2015 17:05 (eight years ago) link

Voted. I wish the covers portion could have been 10 spots instead of 5.

WilliamC, Sunday, 17 May 2015 18:08 (eight years ago) link

It's not too late to submit a ballot, is it?

WilliamC, Monday, 18 May 2015 14:43 (eight years ago) link

I think so as I got a confirmation shortly after I submitted my ballot.

I didn't get a confirmation?

campreverb, Monday, 18 May 2015 15:44 (eight years ago) link

i can't really listen to this band but i wouldn't tell them to fuck off cuz they look like people who would buy records from me.

scott seward, Monday, 18 May 2015 16:27 (eight years ago) link

Yes, just a couple confirmations!

Van Horn Street, Monday, 18 May 2015 16:40 (eight years ago) link

No rush sleeve :)

There will be a surge of votes for "Ohm" after last night.

clemenza, Tuesday, 19 May 2015 00:18 (eight years ago) link

Why so?

Van Horn Street, Tuesday, 19 May 2015 00:23 (eight years ago) link

Going back and listening to this band deeply for the first time in over a decade, what's really struck me is Ira Kaplan is pretty much a guitar God.

kornrulez6969, Tuesday, 19 May 2015 00:32 (eight years ago) link

(xpost) Mad Men...in the last scene, Don Draper invents electricity.

clemenza, Tuesday, 19 May 2015 00:35 (eight years ago) link

Also because Ohm is an incredible song

thom yorke state of mind (voodoo chili), Tuesday, 19 May 2015 13:29 (eight years ago) link

Fade is one of my favorites post-2000, I had 2 tracks make my top 25. Actually, when people say post-2000 I don't know if that means they dislike And Then Nothing, or the stuff after.

campreverb, Tuesday, 19 May 2015 13:55 (eight years ago) link

In my case, it's the stuff after.

Hi! How are you? Have you seen this (WilliamC), Tuesday, 19 May 2015 14:00 (eight years ago) link

the increasing costive borborygmi (Dr Morbius), Tuesday, 19 May 2015 15:36 (eight years ago) link

it's the distortion, stupid! (alex in mainhattan), Tuesday, 19 May 2015 21:38 (eight years ago) link

I was targeting Wednesday 27th

Van Horn Street, Tuesday, 19 May 2015 21:54 (eight years ago) link

You guys better vote for "You Can Have It All."

The burrito of ennui (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Tuesday, 19 May 2015 21:55 (eight years ago) link

sleeve, Tuesday, 19 May 2015 22:26 (eight years ago) link
