Techno Ted may be a person who caused Chris incredible emotional pain & trepidation as well as moments of peace & happiness but now is removed and awaiting his fate. Darling may be a different person who is also free of him and can live her life free of Ted's tyranny. "In between all the laughing, and daydreams ... lies: a desert of truth" Lies are like a desert or the omission of Truth: Where there were Lies then Truth was absent. The song, "Techno Ted", may be a cathartic celebration of the downfall of this person.
The Ghost Mice says,
"What have we done?
What have we done?
Are we making any changes?
Or are we just having fun?
What have we done?"
And the Ghost Mice says,
"Son, don't grow up to be a Nascar driver
Don't grow up to be anything like your father."
And the Ghost Mice says,
"The road goes on forever
But its so much better
If we stick together."
And the Ghost Mice says, and the Ghost Mice says,
"If you can tell me what it's like to die, I can tell you what it's like to be alive."
I'm not saying we were wrong,
I'm not saying we were right,
All I know is what we want.
And the Ghost mice says,
"I'm not saying we were wrong,
I'm not saying we were right,
All I know is what we want,
Free pizza for life!"

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'

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/
this is just a song off a split with Ghost Mice where they covered each others songs and i guess this is just like a tribute to Ghost Mice
this is the best idea for a song EVER.
