Release the Bats – The Birthday Party (The band from whence came Nick Cave)
The Lovecats – very early, very frivolous Cure with coolass piano bits
Soap Commercial – The Psychedelic Furs dry take on advertising with apologies to Andy Warhol
Sympathy for the Devil – a rather odd little Roxy Music cover
Just Lust – The Buzzcocks empitimozing the spirit of pure punk
I’ve Got A Secret Miniature Camera – Peter Murphy is much more than goth
Julie’s In The Drug Squad – The Clash in one of their Ska moods
Dog In Sweden – Xray Spex “Iggy says I wanna be your dog, but I want you to be a demagogue…”
Career Oppurtutnities – The Clash sum up the redundancy of meaningless wage slavedom

Young Parisians – Adam and the Ants again, Adam and the motherfucking Ants!
House Of The Rising Sun – Nick Cave was born to sing this song, cover or no
10:15 on A Saturday Night – An old Cure ‘B’ side with one of my favorite understated guitar solos ever.
