00:02 Sly and the Family Stone "Loose Booty"

03:41 The Beastie Boys "Electric Worm"

from "The Mix Up".

06:40 Sid Barrett "Octopus"from The Madcap Laughs.

10:04 The Orb "Little Fluffy Clouds"

That's Ricky Lee Jones talking. Didja know?

14:14 Merv Griffin "Have a Nice Trip"

16:24 Patti Drew "Hard to Handle"

The Black Crows were just covering this song. I am so mad at those guys. Fakers. BTW- this song is filthy. For shame, Patti Drew. (No relation to Nancy, I'll bet)

18:46 Mann "Ha! Ha! Said the Clown"

Where has this song been hiding my whole life?

21:15 XTC "Earn Enough For Us"

from Skylarking.

24:00 Annette Funicello "What's A Girl To Do"

26:40 David Bowie and Ricky Gervais "Pugnose Face"(my title)

from "Extras" -second season. Gervais is quite proud of the fact that he now shares songwriting credit on this with Bowie. And he should be.

29:34 John C. Reilly "Starman"

from the Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story soundtrack. Notice that "Boogie"ing is safer for the children than letting them "get high".

32:59 Hard and Phirm "Pi"

35:57 Sia "Breathe Me" remix by Ulrich Schnauss.

This is a version of the song with which they ended the entire"Six Feet Under" series. The best ending of a series ever. Gave me vertigo. Then, ten minutes later, I realized that the series had always been just a fancypants Soap Opera. Wotta Gyp!

40:12 Bruce Springsteen "You'll Be Coming Down Now"

This song is not a pleasant surprise. It's simply pleasant; no surprises. While the song is probably a metaphoric warning for our US of A, his new album Magic sounds like "Born to Run" all over again. It's like floating in Phil Spectors' amniotic fluid. (His hair is a uterus).

43:51 Joah Valley "In My Life"

If Greg Lake of Emerson Lake and Palmer was the Don Pardo of Rock and Roll, Joah Valley is the Mr. Ed. He must like peanut butter. And carrots.

46:34 The Kingston Trio "Norwegian Wood"

I grew up with this version and thought this was written by the Kingston Trio. I thought those upstarts, the Beatles, ripped off "the KT". And as a child, I thought that Norwegian wood was what the furniture extant in the apartment was made of. Therefore, the final verse- "so I lit a fire, isn't it good, Norwegian wood" -meant to me that the protaganist (Lennon), after his host went to work, burned up the woman's furniture in the fireplace. Honestly. Bright child.

But now as an adult, it is obvious that Norwegian wood is code for "Puff the Magic Dragon" and that while she went off to work an honest job 'in the morning', John 'rock star' Lennon smoked up the poor woman's stash of the devil weed.

Whatta dick.

48:48 Air "Empty House"

51:19 Steve Fisk and Ben Gibbard "Overture"

This and and the forthcoming "Indian Summer" are from the soundtrack to "Kurt Cobain: About a Son".

53:46 Antony "If It Be Your Will"

cover of the Leonard Cohen song from the documentary "I'm Your Man". A cross between Boy George and Van Morrison. It may be best seen while heard.

59:30 Pete Townsend "And I Moved"

from Empty Glass
At the time it was released, was seen as evidence that Townsend was coming out. He maintained that the song was written for Tina Turner. But can you really imagine Tina singing this song well? It doesn't seem well suited to her. Then again, neither was the Mad Max franchise, but that didn't stop her...

62:49 Willie Nelson "Cowboys are Frequently Secretly Fond of Each Other"

66:18 Ben Gibbard "Indian Summer"

69:06 Billy Ward and His Dominoes "Stardust"

Goodfellas soundtrack.

72:08 John C. Reilly "Royal Jelly"

from the Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story soundtrack. "You're a Liar!"
