The Olivia Tremor Control – Green Typewriter Suite Lyrics	19 years ago
The ninth track in the Green Typewriters suite is chunked into two parts, the beginning and the end. The end is the reverse of the beginning.

The Olivia Tremor Control – A Sleepy Company Lyrics	19 years ago
This is a little bit of a stretch, but when reversed, "and that's alright" sounds similar to "I lost my mind".

The Olivia Tremor Control – Dusk at Cubist Castle Lyrics	19 years ago
In the last 20 seconds of this song, a voice is played backwards. I can make only parts of it out: "The stretching of the muscles... erasing to be not there but here... where is the music? has the same effect... turn away... three, four, or five, synergy." Further investigation would prove interesting.

Neutral Milk Hotel – Gardenhead/Leave Me Alone Lyrics	19 years ago
The word "garden" is in a couple of NMH songs, and I think it has some kind of universal significance in all of them. A reference to the garden of eden, perhaps? Any thoughts on that?

The Detachment Kit – Dead Angels Make Slow Sound Lyrics	19 years ago
On a few more listens-through, I heard "is that all you need" around 2:50 - 3:00 when at least one other person is screaming.

The Detachment Kit – Dead Angels Make Slow Sound Lyrics	20 years ago
The last line, "is that all you need?" sounds like "is that all you talk about?" on the version I downloaded from epitonic.com. Not sure which one is more correct than the other.

Les Savy Fav – Fading Vibes Lyrics	20 years ago
I'd like to know where this song came from, as it doesn't seem like a typical Les Savy Fav song. It's too... Neutral Milk Hotel-like.

Les Savy Fav – Rome (Written Upside Down) Lyrics	20 years ago
After listening to this song a bunch of times, I'm pretty sure it's "methylene blue - light special in the red light district. There's a blue light special in the red light district." I think it makes more sense comically, which is what I think Les Savy Fav is all about.

Cursive – Excerpts from Various Notes Strewn Around the Bedroom of April Connolly Lyrics	20 years ago
This isn't really a specific song-related comment, but here goes anyways. The title of the album is "8 Teeth to Eat You", correct? I came across an album from Veruca Salt, which is called "8 Arms to Hold You". Very similar, as you can see. Perhaps Cursive/Eastern Youth got inspiration for the title from that album? Just a thought.

Zeromancer – Opelwerk Lyrics	21 years ago
I was talking earlier with someone who was in Seigmen, the group that evolved into Zeromancer. He said that this song was created by Seigmen, but put onto the Zeromancer cd (to fill space?). Just thought I'd mention that.
