Who Knows: Marion Black, Eccentric Soul: The Capsoul Label - This is a track from a re-issue by perhaps the finest re-issue label out there right now. Numero Group has a few handfuls of releases that mine the vaults of various soul, funk, power-pop labels as well as individual artists that history did not remember. They do God's work for all.
Campaigner (boston, MA 11/22/76): Neil Young, Perfect Echo Vol. 1: Neil singing about Nixon "having got it: Soul."
What A Day That Was: Talking Heads, Stop Making Sense: The Talking Heads should make a comeback. That would be so cool.
Mad Dog 20/20: Jack O. And The Tear Jerkers, Don't Throw Your Love Away: Side project from member of the Reigning Sound and Compulsive Gamblers. Released on Sympathy. Part of the great Tower run of 2006.
Wintertime Blues: John Hiatt, Master of Disaster: John Hiatt is a master, hands down.
The Foz: The Stone Roses, Second Coming: This track is really fucking annoying.
She's Your Problem: The Gentlemen, Ladies and Gentlemen...: Pretty soon the Numero Group is gonna have to rescue these guys from obscurity, if the band doesn't decide to do it themselves. Come on and give us a tour.
Home (When Shadows Fall): Sam Cooke, Ain't That Good News: I got nothing on this one.
(if Loving You is Wrong) I Don't Want To Be Right: The Faces, Five Guys Walk Into A Bar: Rod Stewart is such a fucking pussy. We know exactly what this guy is capable of and what he instead produces. Fuck him for wallowing away in the "classics."
Africa: Augustus Pablo, East of The River Nile: A reggae classic from top to bottom.

1. Rex Hobart & The Misery Boys - It Won't Be Long (And I'll Be Hating You) : A bitter just-dumped-by-the-girl song from these mighty fine twang-ers
2. Billy Childish & The Chatham Singers - Burning and Drowning : Another heartache song, this time from Billy's bare-bones guitar, bass, kit trio with Wolf and Nurse Julie from '05
3. The Ramones - Judy Is A Punk : This is a live version that was tacked onto the end of the CD reissue of their classic (top ten worthy) album Leave Home, as part of a little live set
4. The Atlantics - Come On : A pretty sweet garage/psych nugget from the Nuggets II box set.
5. Wilco - Dreamer In My Dreams : I have mixed feelings about this band. I really like Uncle Tupelo, and the first few albums Tweedy did with Wilco, but I have not really dug anything they've done since Summer Teeth. There have been a few tunes here and there that I thought were kinda cool, but overall I have not been too down. This song is from the second disc of Being There, and I like it sir. Stones-ish rocker with fiddles and a barn-burning feel to it.
6. Palace Music - More Brother Rides : I have warmed up to will oldham a considerable amount in recent years. I could deal without the voice cracks/wavering/indie vocals that had initially turned me off to him, but this is a cool song.
7. A.C. Newman - The Battle For Straight Time : This guy craps gold when it comes up with some cool pop/rock hooks. This one is cool, but not one of my favorites from his "The Slow Wonder" album
8. Comets On Fire - Ghost Of The Cosmos : Fuzzzzzzzed out stoner/70s rock type stuff with plenty o' guitar histrionics
9. The Figgs - Not Involved : Another good song from a great band
10. RL Burnside - Bad Luck And Trouble : A slow burning one from one of the last of the real deal Mississippi bluesmen. This is from the live album "Burnside On Burnside" That is HIGHLY reccommended
