This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
Cadence and Cascade
Kept a man named Jade
Cool in the shade
While his audience played
Purred, whispered, "Spend us too
We only serve for you"
Sliding mystified
On the wine of the tide
Stared pale-eyed
As his veil fell aside
Sad paper courtesan
They found him just a man
Caravan Hotel
Where the sequin spell fell
Custom of the game
Cadence oiled in love
Licked his velvet glov hand
Cascade kissed his name
Sad paper courtesan
They knew him just a man

This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version.
Great version of a great song,

This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.
Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield

I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example:
"'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/
American Town

Ed Sheeran shares a short story of reconnecting with an old flame on “American Town.” The track is about a holiday Ed Sheeran spends with his countrywoman who resides in America. The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.
This is about Sinfield on tour with King Crimson. The band plays and Pete, being the non-performaing member of the troupe, has the opportunity for a visit with a couple of Ladies of the Road. They find him just a man. Really - that's what it's about.
FINALLY MAN! Great Job. Sinfield being a poet and a writer (paper courtesan). Nobody could tell what cadence&cascade is now I'm definitely sure it has something to do with poetry.
Oh, I am dead sure it's about what I said. I used to be a poetaster and a musician too, and of course a Crimson fan of old. He uses "they knew him" in the biblical sense. "Caravan hotel" - the road life - bands travel in caravans, and the hotels take on a glam party theme ("Sequin spell") when the caravan pulls in. "Kissed his name" - groupies certainly do it for the fame association, the bigger the star, the better notch in the gun.<br /> <br /> He has a song on "Islands" called "Ladies of the Road", which is more down to earth in approach.
