There is an obvious pick I’m leaving on the board here. And I adore Elvis as much as the next fellow. But come on, I’m not picking Viva Las Vegas. I’m not even going to pick the (very good) Dead Kennedys cover.
I did seriously consider a sadly-forgotten track called “Reno” by Finishing School, a lovely Elephant Six-inspired track from the early 00s. But ultimately, I kept coming back to the ethereal wonder of “Heaven or Las Vegas.” The enigma of the city provides a strong framework for expressing the gauzy beauty of the Twins. All of the seediness and chintziness of the city fade away, replaced by a kaleidoscope of lights and movement.
