re: Tenenbaums

Early cuts of the movie had it end with the Anthology version of "I'm Looking Through You" (and starting with the actual "Hey Jude" instead of Mothersbaugh's cover) but they couldn't get the rights

Love that story, JCLC. And I think Tir Na Nog has been my best find of the poll.

One #1

― kornrulez6969, Monday, 7 August 2017 15:29 (eight years ago)

If it weren't for that #1 vote, the song Moondance would have been in the high 50s.

tbh if it were possible to vote for "linden arden" and "masked man" as a suite i would've

― ToddBonzalez (BradNelson), Monday, 7 August 2017 15:37 (eight years ago)

van's falsetto is totally devastating

― ToddBonzalez (BradNelson), Monday, 7 August 2017 15:37 (eight years ago)

i would also like to say that the cadence with which van sings the chorus of "wonderful remark" is one of my favorite things in all of music and is a weird bittersweet moment in an otherwise relentlessly bitter song

― ToddBonzalez (BradNelson), Monday, 7 August 2017 15:42 (eight years ago)

it's like he's forcing himself to admit an inconvenient truth

― the Rain Man of nationalism. (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Monday, 7 August 2017 15:44 (eight years ago)

Which Wonderful Remark?

older recording on philosopher's stone

26. Steppin' Out Queen
from Into the Music
7 votes, 143 points

― kornrulez6969, Monday, 7 August 2017 16:12 (eight years ago)

I like this song, but I was surprised by how high it placed.

― kornrulez6969, Monday, 7 August 2017 16:15 (eight years ago)

i'm surprised by its placement too but i am very enthusiastic about it, this song was very high on my ballot and is one of his most perfect songs imo; the way the chorus rhythm switches up every two bars (and in general the incredible drumming on this song!!!), the backing vocals, the bridge which feels like it's trying to escape the rest of the song, etc. etc. etc.

― ToddBonzalez (BradNelson), Monday, 7 August 2017 16:19 (eight years ago)

not to mention the explosive... viola (?) solo

― ToddBonzalez (BradNelson), Monday, 7 August 2017 16:20 (eight years ago)

otm on the drumming.

how's the sequel?

― the Rain Man of nationalism. (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Monday, 7 August 2017 16:21 (eight years ago)

I would have been happy with Steppin' Out as #1. Alternative take is great as well.

― Gaspard de la Nuit: III. ScarJost (Sufjan Grafton), Monday, 7 August 2017 16:24 (eight years ago)

i love the sequel a lot too. into the music is already a very long record but i sorta wish the full "steppin' out queen" were on it anyway

― ToddBonzalez (BradNelson), Monday, 7 August 2017 16:25 (eight years ago)

What is this full Steppin' Out Queen?

Part 2 on The Philosopher's stone, it's awesome

― JoeStork, Monday, 7 August 2017 16:28 (eight years ago)

that tension between the horns and the strings is so great on Queen

come in my garden and let's look at the flowers

― ToddBonzalez (BradNelson), Monday, 7 August 2017 16:32 (eight years ago)

"cul de sac" was my no. 3 and for reasons i expressed back in the voting thread it is so so so so so so so good

― ToddBonzalez (BradNelson), Monday, 7 August 2017 16:33 (eight years ago)

Here's one you may know

wow so low

― ToddBonzalez (BradNelson), Monday, 7 August 2017 16:51 (eight years ago)

when 15, I played this for a girl I liked that had brown eyes and now I want to vomit when I hear it. good song!

― Gaspard de la Nuit: III. ScarJost (Sufjan Grafton), Monday, 7 August 2017 16:56 (eight years ago)

Here's another you may know. And this is definitely too low.

all live versions of this song are generally on fire

I always imagine Van wailing the Genesis song.

22. Fair Play
from Veedon Fleece

― kornrulez6969, Monday, 7 August 2017 17:27 (eight years ago)

Another gem.

― the Rain Man of nationalism. (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Monday, 7 August 2017 17:29 (eight years ago)

i like to contrast "fair play" with "snow in san enselmo" in that "snow" is very clearly intended to imply a spiritual vastness within a terrestrial scene and is thus thoroughly packed with jazzy variations and digressions and a choir to represent this vastness and it rules but in the way that sometimes extremely overwrought things rule. "fair play" i think does the exact same thing without moving much at all, it just sort of slopes gently like a hill, though there's some free association by the piano and the (extremely buzzy) bass. very little happens but listening to it you feel like something magnificent is unfolding

― ToddBonzalez (BradNelson), Monday, 7 August 2017 18:04 (eight years ago)

That's true.

Into the top 20...

I mean top 21...
