JerseyMike Posted January 26, 2008 Share Posted January 26, 2008 Trace is one of my favorite records ever but to me it seems like Jay Farrar ran out of inspiration somewhere along the way. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

jakobnicholas Posted April 6, 2009 Share Posted April 6, 2009 Where are the sucky ones? I'm half-joking. But must I always have to pull out a dictionary or encyclopedia when I read his newest record title? What IS a Thrid shift grotto slack? Do people get blues about geographical terrain? What big event happened in the little-known Ukraine city? Is he referencing the Oklahoma city or the Indian chief the city was named for? Did you know the word means "things up high"? Interesting. Anyone want to explain what Amercian Central Dust might mean? I mean, who the hell knows why Pavement named an album "Brighten the Corners", but I'm OK with it. The Eels named a record "Daisies of the Galaxies". Wierd, sure. But I can get a feeling or images in my head.....I understand the words. Many of Farrar's titles just make me scratch my head.

I think you're on to something. Jay is guilt of something I myself have been accused of: using his vocabulary in a way that points out what a good vocabulary he has. Some people it pretentious.

NightOfJoy Posted April 6, 2009 Share Posted April 6, 2009 B. Terroir Blues I HATE the backwards tracking stuff "space noise" or whatever he calls it between songs on that album. I mean....WTF IS that anyways? Was that his arty response to YHF or something? Makes it tough to throw it on the player. Otherwise, its an ok album. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Sly like a Foxwell Posted April 6, 2009 Share Posted April 6, 2009 trace does leave the bar set pretty high. but space junk really isn't on the list of songs you're gonna yell out for an encore....... Chicamunga, yeah........ Ha ha! It would be hilarious if someone yelled out "SPACEJUNK" and then Jay played it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
