WELL: Like most people with a free evening after a stressful week, I've been busy putting together mix cds (okay, so it's not that normal, but it's no weirder than walking to Trader Joe's). The certain-to-be-brilliant "Songs and the Songs They Rip Off" (e.g. "Fell In Love With A Girl" and "Search and Destroy") is still another two pairs of songs away from completion (though bouyed by today's discovery that Pedro the Lion's I-sing-about-God-in-a-non-ironic-manner schtick is more or less directly lifted from J. Spaceman), but here's what a few hours of work came up with:
"One Headlight" -The Wallflowers
"Where Angels Play" -Stone Roses
"Dishes" -Pulp
"A Common Disaster" -Cowboy Junkies
"Erase/Rewing" -Cardigans
"Promise" -Pedro the Lion
"Mysterions" -Portishead
"Let's Go Away For Awhile" -Beach Boys
"Let's Straighten It Out" -O.V. Wright
"Like Dylan In the Movies" -Belle and Sebastian
"The Flowers of Guatemala" -R.E.M.
"Mass Pike" -Get Up Kids
"We Live As We Dream Alone" -Gang of Four
"Lucky" -Radiohead
"Subterraneans" -David Bowie
"Waiting for the Sun" -Jayhawks
"Positively 4th Street" -Bob Dylan

that thy conscience may not be blunted by adjustment
to wrong causes."
