Lyrics * Liner Notes

"Fun and cheesy, and will probably make fans of these songs really angry."

1. Panoramic Lens -- Julia Pietrus's first song off her first solo album. 1:00.
2. Valentine -- By Lois, but covered more in the tradition of Small Factory. 2:34.
3. I Like To Eat Food -- The 'nikcuS standard, covered in a very loving way. 2:22.
4. If You've Got Trouble -- A song by The Beatles that only appears on Anthology 2. 2:41.
5. You Can Close Your Eyes -- James Taylor covered with funky 16 beat. 1:50.
6. Sugar World -- By The Magnetic Fields, altered slightly since they sound like Casios anyway sometimes. 2:20.
7. Synthetic Fibers (The Song) -- Another version of this song originally by Synthetic Fibers. 8:05.
8. Puerto Rico Way -- By The 6ths, another cheery tune. 3:31.
9. Stop Whispering -- From Radiohead's first album, sung here very high. 4:32.
10. Stand -- By R.E.M. A samba version of an old favorite. 2:10.
11. Please -- By The Mnemonic Devices, and very much like this song sounded in the preliminary stages, with just Rusty and a flute. 2:47.
12. Jealousy -- From Natalie Merchant's solo debut and her third single. 1:38.
13. Dead Is the Drunkest You Can Get -- A Rheostatics song that hadn't actually made it to a real album yet, even though it's one of the best. 2:23.
14. Till My Head Falls Off -- From They Might Be Giants, a good closer to this album of covers. 4:02.
