Said aloud, one might be amatuer diagnosed with a speech impediment.
It could be a variety of bovine based dishes.
Or multiple grudges.
Beef is another of the many words that should be pluralized more often.

1. Nick Cave "Red Right Hand"
from B-Sides and Rarities. This version with the orchestral arrangement is kool.

2. Andy Williams "Happy Heart"
Deja "Fly me to the Moon" vu.

3. TAD "Oppenheimer's Pretty Nightmare"

4. Fabian "This Friendly, Friendly World".
This was Andy Kaufman's favorite song.

5. Wilco "I am Trying to Break Your Heart"
from their live album Kicking Television.

6. Pastels "Illuminati"
Stereolab Remix. Mysteriously on an Up Records compilation also ibid too.

7. Brent Arnold "Sweetness"

8. T- Bone Burnett "Diamonds are a Girl's Best Friend"
from Trap Door.

9. C.H.A.O.S. Productions Bootleg mix "My Other Car Is A Beatle"
( Gary Numan vs L'Trimm vs the Beatles). A trifle I truncated.

10. The Flaming Lips "Vein of Stars"
from At War With the Mystics

11. Steve Reich "New York Counterpoint"
for amplified clarinet and tape or 11 clarinets (1985).

12. Peter Gabriel "We Do What We're Told"
This amazing and disturbing story
reminded me of this song again.

13. Nick Cave "Jesum Transeuntum Et Non Riverentum"
[featuring The Dirty Three] from B-Sides and Rarities.

14. Neil Young "Ways of Love"
I heard this song again after many years at my friends Carolyn and Ben's wedding reception and thought it should be on the next mix. The wedding was sweet and sunny, by the way.

15. Thievery Corporation "Marching the Hate Machines into the Sun"
featuring the Flaming Lips from Cosmic Game.

16. Elvis Costello "Couldn't Call It Unexpected No. 4"
from Mighty Like a Rose.

17. Townes Van Zandt "To Live is to Fly"
from Rear View Mirror. The original cowboy junky. If you feel like licking an ashtray for a couple hours, watch "Be Here to Love Me" , the documentary about his miserable life and his beautiful music. I'd be totally cool with the multivalent incontinence in the lives of such artists (the beats, the rock stars) if they'd just refrain from fathering children...

18. The Postal Service "Suddenly Everything Has Changed"
a Flaming Lips cover from The District Sleeps Alone Tonight.

19. Something I put together.
"El Conquistador" by Daniel Lanois with a poem by Leonard Cohen.

20. Iron and Wine "Jesus the Mexican Boy"
