I don't know for sure that jools has gotten his CD yet, but I'm not going to have much time online for several days. I'll go ahead and get this out of the way.
1. I Want To Marry A Lighthouse Keeper - If you've heard this song before, it could've been in A Clockwork Orange. Or The Maxx, as I discovered recently. I'm reasonably sure that the name of the woman singing is Ericka Eigen. This rarely fails to make me smile.
2. Bindy - This is from Cowboy Bebop OST 2. There's a whole lot I like about Cowboy Bebop, but I would probably recommend the music even if I weren't a fan of the show. Most, if not all, songs from Cowboy Bebop are arranged by Yoko Kanno.
3. Master Of The House - Does it come as a surprise that there's a song from Les Miserables on my list? This came from the Complete Symphonic Recording. While not necessarily my favorite song from the show, it's a fun one.
4. Hungry Like The Wolf - A Reel Big Fish cover. I've heard original songs by these guys and liked them, but it's the cover songs that really made me love them.
5. We're In This Together - This is one of my favorite songs from The Fragile by Nine Inch Nails.
6. The Kiss - From The Last of the Mohicans soundtrack. It gives me chills.
7. Only The Good Die Young - I didn't dislike the song to begin with, but I like this Me First and the Gimme Gimmes cover more.
8. Caught A Lite Sneeze - I love Tori Amos songs. From Boys For Pele.
9. Torpedoes - I don't really know what to say about this song. I just like it. It's by MDFMK.
10. Protecting My Devotion - This is one of my favorite tunes from Final Fantasy IX. A slower version of it (called Loss of Me) is played at another point in the game. Both are good.
11. Army - Ben Folds Five. It's impossibly catchy. The lyrics are great.
12. All Along The Watchtower - Jimi Hendrix. I've heard several renditions of this song, but always liked his the best.
13. Tangled Up In Blue - My favorite Bob Dylan song. I don't have words for the reasons why.
14. Mr. Zebra - Another Tori song. I didn't want to put two songs by the same person on my CD, much less two songs from the same album. I had decided on all of the other songs for the CD and ended up with room for one more. This was a perfect fit. Not surprisingly, Tori makes up a sizable portion of my collection.
15. Till My Head Falls Off - They Might Be Giants!
16. Wild Sex - Definitely one of my favorite Oingo Boingo songs.
17. The Egg And I - This one's from Cowboy Bebop OST 1. Very catchy.
18. Sympathy For The Devil - The original by The Rolling Stones. Classic. I felt like it was a good "final" song.
The unlisted track is a clip from Sifl & Olly. It cracks me up.
