1. Albert Camus – Library Of Congress – Was this between Seizing Elias and Titus Andronicus? Powerful version off the must own Feats Of Strength rarities album.
2. Guess I’m Doing Fine – Bob Dylan – i wrote this wasn’t political. Er, it kinda is.
3. Gobblede Gook – Sigur Ros – More mental than experimental, it is a handclapping, slap lap, bandshangalanger. The harmonies are lovely.
4. Jersey City – Hilly Eye – The best song on the excellent Fireworks EP, works towards a cathartic shout out that takes the bad boys of rock and throws em against the wall.
5. Pyro – Kings Of Leon – Listen, rock lovers, no this isn’t the worst song in the world (“Radioactive” is) but, this indolent buncha bores are not up to much of much interest and they are assholes to boot.
6. Please Hold On While The Train Is Moving -Old 97’s – If a quarter of the folks who are gonna buy KOL, bought this, the world would be a safer place.
7. Fred Astaire -the Slo Slo Gos – Next time they play the city? I’m there.
8. Imstant Hill – The Slits
9. My Heart Skips A beat – The Secret Sisters – No, they’re not Patsy Cline and yes Boring Burnett produced it and the usual suspect approve. Still, to be mentioned in the same sentence as Patsy Cline alone is compliment enough.
10. My Song (demo) – Joe Steinhardt – A coupla weeks later and I still love it.
