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.
Stop The Insanity (S.T.I.)
white & blue & bloody red
stars and stripes for the mis-lead
convenince stores with neon lights
where burger kings rule tainted nights
* stop the insanity let's end humanity
kill all earth's residents let's start with the presidents
this sick atrophic stolen land
means nothing more than modern man's
greed & hate & racism
and what we have is a fucked up system
* let's stop the insanity let's end humanity
mediocre generica let's start with america
let's kill the cops, the C.I.A
the F.B.I , the P.T.A
the N.F.L, the P.M.R.C
let's kill you and let's kill me
let's stop the insanity let's end humanity
mediocre generica let's start with america
white & blue & bloody red
stars and stripes for the mis-lead
convenince stores with neon lights
where burger kings rule tainted nights
* stop the insanity let's end humanity
kill all earth's residents let's start with the presidents
this sick atrophic stolen land
means nothing more than modern man's
greed & hate & racism
and what we have is a fucked up system
* let's stop the insanity let's end humanity
mediocre generica let's start with america
let's kill the cops, the C.I.A
the F.B.I , the P.T.A
the N.F.L, the P.M.R.C
let's kill you and let's kill me
let's stop the insanity let's end humanity
mediocre generica let's start with america

Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.

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,

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/
he's sick of this society..people..we were not meant to live like mindless drones, but it's only fair because we brought it on ourselves. we deserve to die. mmm... burgered kings and presidents...pickled fetus' and the blood we spilt on our stolen land. retribution?
LEFTOVER CRACK SUCKS!!!! (i'm having fun doing this to piss off skemo_kid )
"White and blue and bloody red, Stars and stripes for the mislead" Meaning the United States "Convenience stores with neon lights Where burger kinsg rule tainted nights" the westernization and culture of the US "This sick atrophic stolen land" Talking about how the land we stole from the Indians who were living here before us has been taken and we've destroyed the environment and that its the same as "modern man's greed & hate & racism and what we have is a fucked up system", comparing them to both be dirty and polluted.
