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.
I never really thought to say
That whenever you set free
You're devil smile on me
I melt
It's been a long time between
When you first let me in
Got underneath my skin
It's an echoing empty room
Until your love pours in
And fills it to the brim
I never felt the hook go in
Until you came around
And broke me right back down.
There's just thing that I failed to tell you
I'm wishing on the same moon and stars above you
We're wishing on the same moon
Hear me now I'm calling out for you
Pleading for your love
You're falling from my view and and there's nothing I can do
I'm waiting in the afternoon
For the sun to sink
And let the night back in
It's when I feel close to you
When the stars they swoon
And bring their night time bloom
There's just one thing that I failed to tell you
I'm wishing on the same moon and stars above you
We're wishing on the same moon
That whenever you set free
You're devil smile on me
I melt
It's been a long time between
When you first let me in
Got underneath my skin
It's an echoing empty room
Until your love pours in
And fills it to the brim
I never felt the hook go in
Until you came around
And broke me right back down.
There's just thing that I failed to tell you
I'm wishing on the same moon and stars above you
We're wishing on the same moon
Hear me now I'm calling out for you
Pleading for your love
You're falling from my view and and there's nothing I can do
I'm waiting in the afternoon
For the sun to sink
And let the night back in
It's when I feel close to you
When the stars they swoon
And bring their night time bloom
There's just one thing that I failed to tell you
I'm wishing on the same moon and stars above you
We're wishing on the same moon

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/
Oh man, that's sweet. That's awesome.
I think it's saying that at the end of the day, every one is equal, we work under the same sun, and sleep and dream under the same old moon
This song reminds me a lot of their earlier song "My Happiness". It seems that for some reason he is far away from his love, and that it has been a long time since they last saw each other. And because of this time, his love is fading; although he does not want it to. And the last connection is this symbol of loneliness, the moon. Interesting that the line "falling from my view" is the girl falling out of love, him falling out of love, and the moon setting; all marking the complete end of the relationship. If you watch the video, the protagonist is searching for the last specimen of his bug collection, a luna (moon) moth. In a way, he is searching to keep a permanent connection through the moon; a part of the moon he can keep with him.
