Is that the full band name? I had a hell of a time just figuring out the name of the song. Googling "re-mem-mem-member" isn't as helpful as you'd think. I finally found a site informing that the song was called "Remember Then" but originally titled "Remember When". No mention of any Larry Chance, though. Just 'Earls'.

I would suggest that I know a bit more about truly dorky music than you do. Though Chris Fuckin' Walken is a fan.

Nick Drake - Northern Sky

The 77s

"The Jig is Up"

My current favorite is 'You Only Call Me When You're Drunk' by Ed Harcourt.


Of all time? I have no idea.

Orange Juice - Tender Object

On a Orange Juice fan site 'Tender Object' came second last in a 'Your Favourite Postcard Era Track' poll but that Rickenbacker solo embodies my entire worldview in three shakely played notes.

"A creature made of sunshine
Her eyes were like the sky
Rabbit howls like something old as we twitch to her lullaby
The scalpel shines in god's sunshine
Street lights whisper pain
Down here near the poison stream our god has gone insane

She smiles like a child with flowers in her hair
With blood on her hands into the sun she stares
She feels it die, I heard her cry

Like the scream of the butterfly

Sunshine a house in flames
She likes it where she gets it but it's never felt the same
Surgery in the house of dissection
When your candle burns out I will resurrect you
She runs through fields of daisies
Yeah it's just a shame that they eat their own babies
Who cares cause the air is free
When you get there will you kiss the dead for me?

There's blood on the moon and the summer is cold
There's love in the room but baby that's gettin' old
There's blood on my face sittin' on a dead shore
A highway of emptiness and I'm gettin' bored

There's blood on the moon as we plan our escape
The goddess in bloom, handcuffed and raped
There's blood in the bathtub, baby, murder the king
There's blood on the moon
There's blood on just about everything

Sunshine a house in flames
She likes it where she gets it but it's never felt the same
Surgery in the house of dissection
When your candle burns out I will resurrect you
She runs through fields of daisies
Yeah it's just a shame that they eat their own babies
Who cares? 'Cause the air is free
When you get there will you kiss the dead for me?

Something cold is forced inside her
A tear spills down her cheek
Stillborn songs of a dead dreamer
Hymns of the needle freak
With sunlight in her hair she smiles like she don't care
Her dreams are liquid blue
I cut myself again and again to remind myself of you

She smiles like a child with flowers in her hair
With blood on her hands into the sun she stares
She feels it die, I heard her cry (verse x2)

Like the scream of the butterfly (x2)

I met an angel with a sawed-off shotgun
Wanted by the FBI
We dropped some acid, killed our parents
Then we hit the road
Like the scream of the butterfly"

There are lots and lots.
All are my favorites for different reasons.

"Waterloo Sunset" - Kinks
"You Still Believe In Me" - Beach Boys
"Marquee Moon" - Television
"Bad Days" - Flaming Lips
"The Harder They Come" - Jimmy Cliff
"Pomp and Pride" - Toots and the Maytalls
"Ju Ju Man" - Jim Ford (as performed by Brinsley Schwarz)
etc.

My lord, what a beautiful song.
Perhaps the foremost example of technique and melody meeting at the crossroads.
I need to replace my old cassette copy of Blow By Blow, if only for that one song.

Probably that "Ready To Go" Panago Pizza song by Republica.

Saffron was a cutie, wasn't she?

... Anyway, is that how it's spelled?

As to Fu's call



I have to say, it is as obtuse as his call on "album to which you like to get on with your smoke", which was



I still don't get that.

Now, my favorite song; I don't know. Maybe, "She don't use jelly"?

hickey - food stamps and drink tickets

christ thats an awesome song

common knowledge.
someone answer this for me.

There is no way I could ever answer this question.
This is a question for people who own total of 10 CDs.

I would have had you pegged for Ray Stevens' "The Streak"

My top three in order:

Waterloo Sunset
Strawberry Fields Forever
Care of Cell 44

I'd be completely lost in trying to rank beyond that

np: Centromatic "Fort Recovery"

Yin Yang Twins :: "The Whisper Song"

countdown favorite this week = "o, valencia!" by the decemberists
