Title: Favorite Z segue
Post by: ycartrob on Oct 16, 2005, 10:39 AM
SO, what's your favorite song segue on Z? (ie, your favorite linkage of 2 songs; the 2 sequential songs that flow into/off of each other the best).

Here's mine (in my best music reviewer vernacular):

I have to say Into the Woods/Anytime.

 ITW is such a playful romp into absurdity; Pee-Wee Herman meets the Crocodile Hunter. Tow Waits is the ticket taker, never making eye contact, rubbing smoke out of his eyes on a mish-mash Saturday morning. You get suckered, walking gleefully through the marshy, sideshow soundscape, not knowing Thom Yorke is behind you with an axe. A Pink Floyd/John Phillip Sousa, Robitussin induced zombie state. Hey there's the fat lady! Lookey there, the bearded lady! Losing your balance, you stop, marvel at the wonder as Thom raises the axe. God cues the choir of Wagner angels, you smile a smile that's never been smiled, death clears it's throat, then....WHAM! -Anytime- Keys like the waking moments before you're awakened from your sleepy sleep, a dreamlike dream about dreaming (damn...). And then you're on solid ground and running. Purpose. Meaning. Direction. Importance. (and fun). A hard taco after a burrito. Ice skating after swimming. A nice smack to the face after a verbal swearing. A chewing of fingernails after sipping on blood...


That's what I say.

i agree....after the playful prince/michael jackson impression, "IB4U" comes on as if to say, "okay let's get serious"

Anytime/Lay Low

Probably because they are my two favorite songs on Z.
