1. “I Wanna Get Next To You” – Rose Royce. One of the smoothest slow jams everr. And it came out originally on the Car Wash soundtrack.
2. “Stop Drop amd Roll!!!” Foxboro Hot Tubs
3. “Flying” – The Beatles. Hey, these guys are pretty good
4. “Soft & Wet” – Prince. Alternate version / demo from The Work. I’m getting pretty close to another phase when I listen to nothing but Prince for a week straight.
5. “Jeru” – The Gerry Mulligan Quartet w/ Chet Baker. West Coast Jazz, baby.

1. “Famous” Puddle of Mudd
2. “The Country Life” The Silver Seas. This album was originally released under the band name of The Bees. However, there was another band by that name, people were confusing them and so they rereleased the album the next year under the new band name of The Silver Seas.
3. “Crying Over” Patty Griffin.
4. “All Dressed In You” Kate York
5. “Boys Don’t Cry” Kate York. Funny, I don’t have that much from her but two songs came up in a row. 3rd or 4th time that has happened today. Anyway, could not bear to eliminate this wonderful cover.

1) Incubus – Martini
2) Wyclef Jean – No Woman No Cry
3) Van Halen – Dreams
4) Paramore – Sunday Bloody Sunday
5) Counting Crows – I’m Not Sleeping

(Incubus actually came up 3 times in my first 5, but that would not be very exciting, so I omitted 2)

PS – Wilco & Bryan Adams = Nice!
