1. History Lesson Part II – Minutemen – Only quarter of a century late on these guys, and a bit late to start obsessing but… that lick man, it could be your life.
2. How To Love – Lil Wayne – Minimilast r&b but it's all computer overdubs and so it sounds modern multitrack (and also… because it is?). State of the art, art.
3. Don't Drink The Water – Brad Paisley – The less lachrymose the better with ol' Brad -this song finds him going to Mexico to get over the girl and whatever he is drinking it won't be the wate. Cute outro lick.
4. Codes And Keys – Death Cab For Cuties – After this dog, any bets on how long before Zooey dumps him?
5. All You Ever Do Is Bring Me Down – The Mavericks – Mike Blauner recommended these Oak ridge Boys wannabes from the 1990s. This is accordion country rock with the accent on the country. PS Mike, the DVD didn't work!
6. You're Only Lonely – J.D. Souther – Is this guy still going? A Orbinson-y ballad and pretty darn good.
7. Without You – Eddie Vedder – Three strings, all plucked
8. The Chills – Blue October – Never feel anything if you can over feel anything. Good lyric but I don't get the health remark.
9. Autumn Sweater – Yo La Tengo – A wedding sing as a muted anziety attack.
10. International Love (feat Chris Brown) – Pitbull – Too nondescript, This is the second ho hum from the guy…
