My tracks on this CD being The Infanta, Heart Of A Saturday Night, and Two Step.
The Decemberists were introduced to me through the Twitter compilation CD - I loved 'We Both Go Down Together' as a track, and so bought the album and found 'The Infanta' - great opener if I do say so myself.
'Heart Of A Saturday Night' has been a favourite ever since I was introduced to Tom Waits as a 17 year old. I love the gentle tap tap rhythm and the laid back double bass - if it wasn't for the bass line, then this song wouldn't have half the appeal that it does (to me anyway).
'Two Step' was also introduced to me via a Twitter colleague - we just got talking about music on Twitter, and she told me a few of her favourite tracks, one of which was this. I think it is the over all feel and energy of the track which appeals.
My tracks (as I remember) were Lightning Bolt, Default, Mountain Sound, Wrecking Ball and It's Only Life. I think Wrecking Ball was the overall winner.
ReplyDeleteThey were indeed. I've collated a spreadsheet, but haven't yet put the scores on it. I've also deleted your duplicate comment.
