You Voted, Here Are The Results

Earlier this year I ran a series of polls to ask you what should go on my “Best Of” album. Boy, did you answer that call. Without further ado, here is the track listing for the soon-to-be-created Democratically Elected Best of Matthew Ebel:

• “I Wish I Were” from The Lives of Dexter Peterson
• “Everybody Needs a Robot” from Goodbye Planet Earth
• “Prayer For Danny” from Songs from the Vault, vol. 3
• “An Ordinary Guy” from Songs from the Vault, vol. 2
• “Night Train” from Songs from the Vault, vol. 1
• “Merry Christmas from Cell Block 2″ from The High Orbit Holiday Special
• “Latté Days & Porter Nights” from Beer & Coffee
• “Rain” from Filling The Pages

Not to be completely cut out of the process, though, I decided to add my own side: The Unilaterally Mandated Best of Matthew Ebel. While I may agree with some of the decisions you guys came to, I wanted to cherry pick my own from the remaining pool of songs:

• “The Last Pirate” from The Lives of Dexter Peterson
• “I Will Wait For You” from Goodbye Planet Earth
• “Let It Rain” from Songs from the Vault, vol. 3
• “On and On” from Songs from the Vault, vol. 2
• “Lost on Block Island” from Songs from the Vault, vol. 1
• “Trees” from Beer & Coffee
• “Sally Went Down” from Filling The Pages

Yeah, I didn’t add my own pick from the Christmas album, but since there are only 5 actual SONGS on that album I didn’t want to give away the store, you know? Besides, most of the fun of that project was the adventure anyway, and that’s just difficult to translate into a “Best of” format.

Now comes the tricky part… album artwork. Expect voting sooooooon…
