1. Breakaway- Art Garfunkel – Mike "A Wombling Christmas" Batt wrote this song for Art and it feels like a thematic contination to Simon's "The Only Living Boy In New York" though, much like the album itself, there is also a sense of AOR Beach Boy-y (a cover of "Disney Girls" is also on it) updated. "It's not the sun you're trying to find, something else is on your mind…"

2. Saw You First – Givers – Sounds like Vampire Weekend… that's a compliment.

3. Intro – M83 – A big song off a big album

4. Give Me Love – Ed Sheeran – Can't wait for th album… or the March concert for that matter.

5. Cousins – Vampire Weekend – This sounds like Vampire Weekend as well.

6. We've Only Just Begin – Carpenters – I dreamt about Karen last night. This version is a little screwed in the recording but lovely nevertheless.

7. Sorry Seems To Be The Hardest Word – Ray Charles And Elton John – Charles gets most of this. Elton overdoes it with the "hmmmm hmms".

8. (I Never Wanted) To Be A Star – Cat Stevens – I guess this is pretty sincere.

9. Groove Me – Etta James – Bottom of the ninth and she has still got it.

10. Sophia – Laura Marling
