2. Yoshimi pt1 – The Flaming Lips – – or the title song of an operatic album about the battle of a young girl against death.

5. Saint behind the glass – Los Lobos – The delicate harp from Vera Cruz, the whole album is a delight.
6. A Distorted reality is now a necessity to be free – Elliott Smith – The alternative version with different lyrics. You got to be free, you wanted to be free and there was no escape.
7. I Don’t Blame You, Cat Power(- So bizarre it came up after #6. The crucified artist in all its beauty and she is not talking about herself.
8. Get Your Guns, Nine Black Alps -Loud and rockin’, they are great live.
