Favourite OTC song?

[prehistoric]

Yes, I'm gonna be annoying and ask the same question here aswell! Oh, I'll let you all have a 'closely followed by' song choice too, 'cos I'm kind like that.

I'd have to say my all time favourite is:

"I Have Been Floated"

Amazing song!

Closely followed by:

"Courtyard"

[martinicon]

I love the singing-saw at the end of NYC-25, but have trouble picking a fave from so many great choices. Grass Cannons from Black Foliage is great also.

[henrikhhh]

Jumping Fences, Courtyard, California Demise

[Harnk]

Jumping Fences
New Day
Hideaway


funny thing is that as much as I love the crap out of OTC I can never remember the song titles

[Apple (in Stereo)]

Jumping Fences and Courtyard...

[acrobat]

A Sunshine Fix

[esme]

I have been floated has the best melody I've ever listened to. then there's jumping fences, which is simply just a perfect song..

and everything else, ofcourse :)

[carlos]

I love paranormal echoes.. but then again Black Foilage is one of my favorite records so it's a tough call.

[sic transit gloria]

Marking time
Jumping Fences
NYC-25
Can you come down with us?
Grass Cannons
Hideaway

[William]

the 2nd or 3rd ''green typewriters''.
nyc-25
the last song on black foliage
define a transparent dream
love athena

[PlasticSong]

Jumping Fences > Define a Transparent Dream

hideaway

I have been floated

This is my first post on the E6 board. just got in to OTC like a month ago. 15 years of age. Hello.

[ihavenoface]

lets just say everything on black foliage

[The_new_improved_Kirk]

lets just say you shut up you, im just kiding you know i love you. I think my fav. is jumping fences

[BigBlackSmoke]

A perculiar noise called "Train Director"

[DrinkTeaEatBooks]

A Sleepy Company

Closely Followed by No Growing (Exigesis)

[kelly]

define a transparent dream

grass canons

[ihavenoface]

black foliage (animation 5)
that ones good,
but not necessarily my favorite.

[nervesandgel]

i really really like "late night music 3" from singles and beyond, otherwise all of side four from black foilage.

[ihavenoface]

why are all the dates fucked up now, from the posts, its weeeeird

[bgburroughs]

probably my favorite: I Have Been Floated

closely followed by: A Peculiar Noise Called "Train Director"

[Edited on 6-28-2004 by bgburroughs]

[le chimp]

if i had a gun to my head i'd probably say i have been floated. but then the gunman would probably say "you're lying it's courtyard!", and then pull the trigger. but then i'd explain to st. peter that i never skipped around on either album so the killer could never have conclusively decided that i was in fact lying. i always listen to both albums from start to finish. the guy was probably just a jerk with a bad childhood and never really cared what my favorite otc song was to begin with.

[mrk]

le chimp, I like your style.

All of my favourite OTC songs are nicely contained within side 4 of Black Foliage.

[Edited on 7-2-2004 by mrk]

[jdvanwijk]

I always get all fuzzy inside from I Can Smell the Leaves. Pavlov-y. Pretty scary, come to think of it.

[BigBlackSmoke]

i change my mind. it is either green typewriters part X or marking time

[LeakyBass]

Right now it is definately "Marking Time", closely followed by "Courtyard".

[RaelO]

i still don't know titles; the tape i have of them isn't labelled.

what song goes:
"don't sleep too long...cos everything you need is right here.."

(if it's actually CALLED 'dont sleep too long' that'd be sort of embarassing..)

[s]

That's the last song on "Dusk at Cubist Castle"!... I've forgotten that title, either.

[s]

"NYC...something", I suppose.

[Harnk]

When I listen to OTC I tend not to decipher between songs..but rather I prefer sections or strings of songs. But Grass Canyons, New Day, and Mystery stand alone well as songs.

[Salman]

My top three (in no order)

"Sylvan Screen"
"Holiday Surprise Pts. 1, 2, 3"
"California Demise 3"

[s]

"I don't remember that title, either."

But I remembered. "NYC-25".
Pleasant dreams, but please don't sleep too long...

that's the one. & what's the one, it's on that singles type CD? that starts with the clock chimes? I kept thinking that might be the clock over by North Franklin street.

[s]

That's "Christmas with william S.", I suppose. William S means Willam. S. Barrows, I think.

[BigBlackSmoke]

its too hard to choose a favorite. when i think of the otc i dont really just think of one song as much as i think of their albums as a whole.

[Well Respected Man]

"Paranormal Echoes" or "Mystery".

[Exygen]

Opera House
Hideway
Frosted Ambassador
etc.

[phiveoff]

Top 5:

1. Courtyard
2. Jumping Fences
3. California Demise Pt. 3
4. No Growing (Exegesis)
5. Green Typewriters IV

[s]

right now, california demise pt3.

they shoud've written on the sleeve, "please send a cassette, but NO female nerds, NO female dogs." otherwise, "Dogs must stay away from us and just pay for the album"


i've been thinking to sell Bright Eye's album *RARE* record (with a serial number!! :o) someday he gets more popular, jacking up the price more than that.

happy birt......oh no, happy new year to you all.

YES offense. (not "no offense.") ha-ha

[toucan]

hi, i'm new too.

if i had to only pick one:

paranormal echoes...

...but hopefully, no one is holding a gun to my head during this?

[coleslaw]

Lately, I've really been diggin "Another Set of Bees in the Museum", but I've always been quite partial to "Holiday Surprise 1,2, and 3." The guitar lick during the last breakdown in the song is one of the most badass things I've ever heard.

Picking a favorite song by this band is such a painful task, they're all so glorius.

[thecauseofgauze]

a peculiar noise called train director

[typewriters]

too hard to choose

but something like this order, from very favorite to favorite


fireplace
i have been floated
grass cannons
memories of jaqueline 1906
california demise part 3
green typewriters (track 21)
hideaway
define a transparent dream
green typewriters (track 20)
a sleepy company
a sunshine fix
love athena
paranormal echoes

[airplane]

where we are~.. in the blink of eyes you've got severa meanings..

sue me, i7m not afford to pay money..."baishyoukin", though.

[onefold_sleep]

I may have already posted in this thread, but it was so long ago that my choices have probably changed. Right now I'm in love with 'The Giant Day' and 'Hilltop Procession' because the latter has the best fade-out of any song ever.

I also think 'The Gravity Car' is underrated.

[Edited on 1-9-2005 by onefold_sleep]

[Salman]

I think the Peel Sessions version of "The Giant Day" is much better than the recorded version.

And yeah, "The Gravity Car" is pretty underrated.

[s]

favorite songs of otc?? NOTHING. ABSOLUTELY NOTHING

[ollie]

green canons i would say, but there are so many great ones

"Gravity Car" is amazing.

oh! a mix between green typewriters and grass cannons! AMAZING!

[elko]

I haven't heard all that many, but right now I'd go with 'Jumping Fences'. Predictable maybe, but it sure is great.

[nice man washing]

'Jumping Fences' for singing along as loud as you can.

'Grass Cannons' for entering another realm of ethereal beauty.

'NYC-25' for waving goodbye to loved ones as they melt over the horizon.

'Love Athena' for rocking out.

[langdon]

grass typewriters! ;)

[Pål]

My favourite is Hideaway...it reminds me of summer festivals. Sitting on a gigantic field with 80,000 other people in the middle of the night, talking hippie-ish bullshit with people you've never seen before....aaaah

Paranormal Echoes

[patman?]

Dear E6 Townhall Members:

This post is, in fact, not patman?, but instead, his psychologist.

After reading this post, he was trying to think of his favorite song. After hours of indecisiveness and blanken staring at the screen, he still couldn't come up with an answer. Then at the point where he had 25-30 songs all going through his head at one time in a sea of jumbled noise, he finally cracked.

I just visited him at the mental institute, and he's still unable to think of it, and is very unhealthy for his mental state each time he attempts thinking of one.

Sincerely,

Johnathan D. Rickelmayer
Psychologist

[The Sad Witch]

I Have Been floated, especially through headphones- I just love the voices at the end.

[deciduousmay]

I love the Sylvan Screen, but my absolute favorite (today) is

Hilltop Procession (momentum gaining)


.........there are no explanations to the things you see
in your mystery
so don't look to me to validate your dreams...........

[outofstep23x]

My favorite must be "I have been floated"

[Willomopar]

Another Set of Bees at the Museum

Unfortunately, I doubt it's one I'd get to see live, but man that riff epitomizes the crunch I crave to sooth my soul. Frosted Wheat may provide an alternative crunch that might to used to find a way to where they make the sounds we hear the sound (How can we liberate the world of sound?)
