1. Carpool Pepsi – Kevin Greenspon – I am so jealous of Alyson, she will be catching Kevin live in Los Angeles next month. This is wonderful rave up off his split album with Cloud Nothings. Incidentally, I might add that I am the only person I’m aware of who raved about not the Vivian Girl solo band but Cloud Nothings when they opened for Titus last March
2. Date With Ikea – Pavement – Good enough live to send me back to the recording.
3. Post Life – Kevin Greenspon – The demo of this was on heavy rotation earlier this year, the vocals are strong enough to remind you why demos are demos.
4. Common People – Pulp -Social ramrod dance trance.
5. Birds – Margot and the Nuclear So And Sos
6. Better Things – The Kinks – Ray’s voice is something wonderful.
7. Theme from “Cheers” – Titus Andronicus – The difference between Dan McGee and Patrick Sticks is Stickles is a rock pretending to be a folkie. McGee? The reverse. A folkie who thinks he’s a rocker. Both dig country but they don’t know it.
8. All The Way – Liza Minnelli
9. Out Of Goodbyes (feat Lady Antebellum) – Marron 5 – AOR
10. Losing My Patience – Shit Robot
