This is the printable cover for Yata.
Since I use it to make labels, it's tailored to my printer and browser (IE7) settings. It might not look or print as nicely on your PC.
I suggest you try a print preview and/or low-ink draft print before trying to print actual labels.
Make sure you configure your browser to print backgrounds, or the images won't print.
Set your left/right printer margins to 0.75 and your top/bottom margins to 0.50.
"Yata" stands for "Yet Another Tripecac Album". It's also a pun on "yada yada" and the silly "Yatta" video. If you think I have no shame, check out that video!
The album title and some of the songs' lyrics self-consciously acknowledge that we've heard it all before.
Well, maybe not all of it. There are a few new bits in here, like the attempt at (pseudo-)punk and the fact that the album ends on a slow, gentle ramble rather than a tight rocker. There's also a feeling of exploring different emotional areas from the usual half-silly, half-irritable sassiness. New emotions include: sadness, semi-sadness, and faux-sadness. Yippee!
Eek, did I just say "emotional" and "emotions"? You know, as in "emo"??? Yikes! I hate emo! I just hate it hate it hate it hate it hate it! Fortunately, I don't think we can call this music "emo". It doesn't sound emo all. Thank God! 'Cause my life would just, like, end if we labeled this album emo...
Sorry; that was a horrid emo impression. Absolutely pathetic. I really suck. I guess I'll just go kill myself now...
Ha ha ha!!! Don't you love my sparkling, sizzling wit??? Yep, I guess the half-silly, half-irritable sassiness never went away. Like it or not, here I pun!
Okay, one last note. I've thrown in a sort of easter egg, a hidden "rule". Need a clue? Check out the first couple letters of each song name. :)
