1. Earle Hagen "I Spy" from Ultra-Lounge, Vol. 7: The Crime Scene

2. John C. Reilly & Mark Wahlberg "Intro (Feel The Heat)" from the Boogie Nights Soundtrack album

3. The Monkeywrench "Notes & Chords Mean Nothing To Me" from Clean as a Broke-Dick Dog.

4. FlamingLips/BillHicks Mashup "It’s Just A Ride". I wish I knew where this came from.

5. Iggy Pop "Five Foot one"

6. Stereolab "Margarine Melodie" from Margarine Eclipse

7. Steve Fisk "Aviation Oakie"
from 999 Levels of Undo.
A puzzling, limping tumble down the stairs.
Like that rare great movie, you realize, 'I don't have a clue what's going to happen next'
And you actually give a shit.
Jeez, I love this song.

8. Unidentified Sharecropper Field Holler. It's not nice to not remember where this came from. But I don't.

9. The Pixies Nimrod’s Son Live 2004. One of the only legitimate song uses of the M-F swear. The other one is Kick out the Jams by a group of young impolite ruffians called the MC5.

10. Tuvan Throat Singer It's not nice to not remember where this came from either.

11. Dirtbombs/ Robyn Hitchcock Cover "Executioner of Love"

12. Steve Fisk "Where’s the Fire" from 999 Levels of Undo

13. Willie Nelson/Beach Boys "The Warmth of The Sun" the one good(?) thing from Stars and Stripes, Vol. 1, a Country Beach Boys Tribute/duet Album! No Volume 2 has been released since 1996, when this was released. Probably, there won't be a Volume 2, so don't hold your breath.

Guess which Beach Boy I blame for this mess (with a jingoisticalesque title): Mike Love. What is it with Transcendental Meditation? Practising doesn't seem to make anyone a better person, like you'd figure. It seems to allow the practitioner to sociopathically separate themselves from the feelings of others. Or something.

Andy Kaufman (I love Andy Kaufman the ur-Borat precisely for his most aggressive comedy), Howard Stern, Mike Love... At least David Lynch doesn't seem unpleasant. But his art isn't very nice seeming. Often ugly, actually. An ugly I love also. Anyway, TM folks are not blissed out or fully gruntled, it seems. Done musing- back to the task.

14. PJ Harvey/Bjork Live cover of "Satisfaction"

15. Halo Benders = Calvin+Built to Spill "Don't Touch My Bikini"

16. Righteous Brothers "Just Once In My Life" another Phil Spector gem.

17. Dolly Parton "I Will always Love You" the 1974 ish original. One of the many music crimes of the eighties was to tarnish the reputation of this fine song with Whitney Houston's caterwaul. I had no idea...

18. Doves/David Essex Mashup "Rock On"

19. Negativland "U2" . Not well placed in this mix, admittedly. But funny in a grueling kind of way. And there's that Steve Fisk connection...

20. Yes End of Starship Troopers. (It's actually called "Wurm"...with umlauts. I cringe.)

21. Beck "Totally Confused"

22. B-52s and everyone Mashup "Love Shack" .
Annoying. But funny.
This one and the Negativland cut might belong on another CD/Podcast/Mix,
perhaps one called "In a Timeout".
