1. Chinese Rock – Sid Vicious – A bad, bad joke that was in the process of killing the tragi-comic figure, the personification of white trash in eather coat and hypodermic needles, stuck between Malcolm trying to remake him in the image of James Dean and Nancy Spungen trying to resurrect his career at Max's with panties in hand. It all ended up in the Chelsea Hotel, and this song is the soundtrack. Ps: it is a terrible version… but a great song. – Grade: D+2. Everybody Hold Still – Grace Jones – Her voice is a husky, sideswipe of an instrument and here she puts it dangerous huge on this insanely catchy funk disco track – Grade: A-
4. Roll On John – Bob Dylan – he read the news, oh boy – Grade: B
5. Melody Dean – Amanda Palmer & the Grand Theft – A smart little rocker from a smart little album – Grade: B
6. Groundhog Dead – Corin Tucker Band – Ha, que pasa? Grade: A
7. Yet Again – Grizzly Bear – I bought tix to see em at Radio City almost on a whim… a whim that is apparently paying off.
8.Clique – Kanye West – And by clique they mean crew, and an ace crew, but it the clique don't click to Kweezy admits he's been deen depressed since his Mon died – Grade: B+
9. Toledo – Elvis Costello – The one time he gave Hal David reason to sweat – Grade: A
10. Happy When it Rains – The Jesus And Mary Chain – From the album where they put away the feedback and trusted the music to do the work for them – Grade: A
