  1. "Pete, King of the Detectives" - Big Black
    Tight & compressed guitars, another shallow psychological study, more whining lyrics repeated 'til they gain weight & it all means more than this sounds like.

  2. "Mexicla" - Queens of the Stone Age
    Great guitars, and Coke with real sugar, sex, death, and gasoline!

  3. "Ladyflash" The Go! Team
    Coolness! An incredible collection of Pop hooks, from Northern Soul, American Soul, Doubled Drummers, and a singer straight outta the Wall O'Sound!

  4. "Gnome the Second" - Gong
    Weirdo Hippy Space freakout, mercifully only 26 seconds long. It only sticks around long enough to amuse, not long enough to annoy.

  5. "Black Mass" - Les Baxter
    From my 3rd or Fourth favorite H.P. Lovecraft-adapted movie, The Dunwich Horror, starring Dean Stockwell & Sandra Dee!

  6. "This Here Giraffe" - The Flaming Lips
    Typical Lips, but I like the understated birdcalls & tasteful xylophone.

  7. "Along the Banks of the River" - Tortoise
    Moody, Jazzy soundtrack music, I can almost name the movie it comes from... but it doesn't.

  8. "Lonesome Cowbuy Burt" - Frank Zappa
    "Hi Burt!" This and "Half a Dozen Provacative Squats" seem to be the only tracks from 200 Motels that turn up on shuffle.

  9. "Evil Brain Rejector" - Lee "Scratch" Perry
    This sounds like two little Jamacans are standing on your shoulders rapping about totally different things, at the same time, over old soul records.

  10. "Faded from the Winter" - Iron & Wine
    Quiet guitars, subdued voices singing that always seems to be saying something sad even when they're not (although they are here).
