Everything Works If You Let It- Cheap Trick
Sir George Martin producing Cheap Trick? Yeah, yeah, yeah! But not really. "All Shook Up" was more like meh, meh, meh. This single, not on the album of course, was pretty terrific though.
Johnny Hit & Run Paulene- X
Been listening to a lot of X lately because I love their new one "Alphabetland" a whole lot.
Human Kindness- Neil Finn
Reading a book called "Human Kind," which explains through history, that we are much better people during a crisis than what we've come to believe. This song came to mind, a song not originally on Neil Finn's second solo record, "One Nil," but tacked on to the US repress, retitled "One All."
Warm Heart Pastry- Mike Heron
Heron was one half of the Incredible String Band, and this solo track is a favorite of mine because he is backed by a band called Tommy & The Bijoux, which is Pete Townshend, Ronnie Lane & Keith Moon.
Storm Warning- Mac Rebennack
A bit of early Dr. John when he was still playing guitar.
WPLJ- The Mothers Of Invention
Zappa and friends cover the Four Deuces. This one always makes me feel good.
Snake Oil- Steve Earle & The Earle
I know the remixing of older records is a touchy subject, but "Copperhead Road" is such a great collection of Earle songs, it's a shame that the record is drowning in 80's reverb. This one rocks anyhow.

Got four of these already, but wanna hear the rest. And, yeah, that 801 (One Sentence Review) version of TNK is fantastic. And, yes again, the new X album is really really good (They didn't play anything off it when I saw them last year, but if they did it woulda fit right in). I got "Found All The Parts" back when it came out mostly for the bonus single Everything Works Out If You Let It.

So you'd like to remix Copperhead Road? I'm down for that, as long as they always make both versions available. Isn't there a long history of artists tinkering with their play/film/piece of art/book long after it was "done?" They just need to protect the historic record and not disappear the original released version. I'm looking at you George Lucas.
Just blew the digital dust off Alphabetland -- what a solid record. Thanks for the nudge!
