1. When you Wish Upon A Star – Cliff Edwards – Disney’s finest music moment from one of their signature achievements, the sound of your conscience, yes, of course, but also the sound of our deepest wishes. All in a crickets chirp. Astounding – A+
2. Heartbreaker – Motorhead – The astounding thing isn’t that it is great, the astounding thing is that it is just about as great as anything else they’ve done. A roar of pure rock and roll – A
3. Can’t Tell Me Nothing – Kanye West – If he records a live album after this tour, it will be so we can hear this song remixed to levels of hip hop perfection – A
4. Birthday – Katy Perry – Terrific dance pop blast of energy, maybe the second best on Prism – A-
5. Queen Of New York – SHINee –It has a real r&b twist to r&b and is a fine expression of how real a phenomenon K-Pop is, even if it only catches on with the couple of billion folks in Asia – B+
6. Your Jealousy – Shonna Tucker And Eye Candy – Mike Holcomb: “Clay Leverett, who drummed on three Bright Eyes records and filled in for Maria on the Cassadega tour is my next-door neighbor. As you saw in my pics, he’s playing with Shonna Tucker now and they’ve made…in my opinion…a record that’s right up there with Isbell’s as the alt-country/Americana record of the year.” – A-
7. This Lonely Morning – Best Coast – Written in five minutes but built to last, a lovely track off a super fine EP – A-

9. Tiff – Polica with Justin Vernon – Great vocals, very nice with Vernon deep in the background. The song isn’t all that – B-
10. I Know – Fiona Apple – A goodie off Pawn and looking at the current setlist, I wish there were more of them – B+
