00:02 Sonic Youth "Drunken Butterfly" from Dirty.

03:01 Tammy Wynette "D.I.V.O.R.C.E."
Some jokester once called this a white trash spelling lesson.

05:50 Osymyso "Intro Introspection"
from Osymyso.com. Not just possessing a short one, there is simply no span of attention at all.
A singularity we've swum too close to. Effect precedes cause.

11:08 Angelo Baadalamenti "Pink Room"
from the soundtrack to "Twin Peaks Fire Walk With Me"

15:01 The Fitness - "Chauffeur"
featuring Bree Nichols, a person I met through work. Brilliant, beautiful and bored. She'll be a star.

18:10 Radiohead "In the Aisles"
from the Airbag EP. Melodic, dubby.
I think this is one of the most amazing little pieces of music.

21:00 Gillian Welch "Elvis Blues" from Time (The Relevator).

25:49 Modest Mouse "A Life of Arctic Sounds".

28:15 Pulse by Steve Reich Remixed by DJ Pulse
from Reich Remixed

34:05 Ricky Gervais "Free Love Highway"
Back before the American "The Office" on NBC, there was the BBC TV show.

35:58 The Minutemen "Toadies"
from Double Nickles On the Dime.
With all his political songs, it seems like The Man might have had good reason to have D. Boon killed.
But unlike other rockstar's deaths, there is no puzzling evidence surrounding death.

37:36 Loo & Placido "Safari Love"
Aretha/Pixies/ Beatles Mashup of "Who’s Zooming Who?"(!), "Where Is My Mind", "Because" respectively, and some Elton John song. I listened to the original "Who's Zooming Who" recently and man, what a terrible thing. This mashup excavates that really great vocal hiding in there.

41:49 Le Tigre "Hot Topic"

45:26 Song from ‘Bonjour Tristesse’
See "From the Journals of Jean Seberg". Inexplicably, netflix doesn't have it. Excellent and heartbreaking.

48:00 Mark Vidler/ Go Home Productions."Jacko Under Pressure"

51:27 Theme song from ‘I Claudius’

52:27 Assagai "Hey Jude" Best Beatles cover. Ever. (Shatner excepted)

56:10 Pete Townsend "Begin the Beguine" from Scoop

1:00:10 Ricky Gervais "Spaceman Came Down"

1:00:51 Johnny Paycheck "Take This Job and Shove It".
Check out the chorus effect on that bass track.

1:02:21 Mashup of "My Dog’s Bigger Than Your Dog"
Original written by Tom Paxton. I dunno who who did this mashup.

1:04:00 Kiss "Almost Human" from Love Gun.
What makes me love this song?
Is it the retardo lyrics?
Is it the phlegmy growl of the now tiresome Gene Simmons?

It's the congas. Jimmy Maelin on congas.
Very metal.

1:06:33 Mr. Show "We Forgive You"

1:07:36 The Briefs "Kill Bob Segar Right Now"

1:08:42 Bob Mothersbaugh/ Wild Man Fischer "The Way We Were"

1:09:45 Aimee Mann "Wise Up"
From the "Magnolia" Soundtrack.
Is "Magnolia" the single instance of a great Tom Cruise performance?

1:13:04 Tomita "Preludes, Book I, No.10: The Engulfed Cathedral"
from Snowflakes are Dancing Someday soon, this guy's going to get his due.
