1. Breakeven – The Script – Irish lads who sucked so bad opening for McCartney at Citifield a coupla years ago, I never really gave them a chance. Colbie did a killer cover of this Monday night and the original is just as good. A heartbreaker of the first order in classic rock vein.

2. Realize – Colbie Caillet – Off her first album and never a favorite but live she gives it the spine it is missing on record.

3. He Gets Me High – Dum Dum Girl – I never said I didn't like this band, I said I didn't like them live. On record they are a pretty goof fuzz rock band and this is a pretty good song.

4. Rich Girl – Hall & Oates – Ahhh, memories. Before they were a rock band, they were a very good pop band and here is one of their peaks. "You can say money but it won't get you too far… get yopu too far.

5. Back In The Bar – Tom Waits – Aha – so here is the guy who wrote "Downtown Train" in full fledged ballad mode plus famenco guitar!

6. Bar – Sonia Leigh – Another hell on heels, the gender bending with tough women and soft men continues. This is a pretty good drinking song.

7. (What's So Funny 'Bout) Peace, Love And Understanding – Brinsley Schwartz – The original is so country, I gotta wonder why I didn't notice earlier.

8. Tomboy – Panda Bear – This is so mechanically driven , this live version seems to mean the tone is a little off.

9. Loyalty – 9th Wonder – A very strange hip hop ballad with some of the most direct scratching I've heard in awhile

10. Build. Rebuild. Destroy – Hanni El Khatib – Starts like "Love The One You're One With", ends like "Twist And Shout" and in between kinda Iggyish.
