00:02 Gene Harris "Put On Train"

04:03 Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds "Dig Lazarus Dig"

08:13 Ofo the Black Company "Love Is You"

11:04 LCD Soundsystem "North American Scum"

16:21 The Osmonds "Hold Her Tight"

At least they ripped off the right Led Zep song. I hear the chorus as:

Hold her tight
in your magic underwear

19:24 Dread Zeppelin "Immigrant Song"

The chimpmunks background vocals adds precisely the right touch. The Smiths were fond of that effect as well. Another among many qualities Dread Zeppelin shared with them.

22:07 Brian Eno "I Fall Up"

25:30 Glen Campbell "Elusive Butterfly of Love"

This KIXI classic has the shimmering edges of windowpane about it. Tracers and folly, as though Glen has seen through time and tasted the Godhead. And that mention of "heavy breathing"...

27:45 Bluebob "Thank you Judge" Bluebob is David Lynch and John Neff.

33:25 Tom Jones "Not Responsible"

35:27 TacocaT "Bike Party"

I know two members through work. Funny, smartass and fantastic.

36:58 France Gall "Laisse Tomber Les Filles"

Serge Gainsbourg wrote this.

38:56 Gohome Productions "Safesurfing For No One"

41:36 Besnard Lakes "Devastation"

I think there are swears buried in there.

47:01 The Beatles "Blue Jay Way"

49:32 Ulrich Schnauss "Medusa"

54:56 Elvis Costello & Lucinda Williams "Wild Horses"

59:38 Rockabye Baby! Lullaby Renditions of Radiohead "Subterranean Homesick Alien"

62:52 John C. Reilly "(Have You Heard The News) Dewey Cox Died"

It borrows the concept from Nick Cave's "Lay Me Low" - The self aggrandizing self eulogizing. It's supposed to be a joke song. But I think that it succeeds in being a genuinely beautiful little song, and touching.

65:13 Mark Lanegan Band "One Hundred Days"
