    Wow, I didn't realize that 'Guitar Man' was an old Bread tune… until now, I only knew CAKE's version, which is quite similar except: 1) I like Bread's use of the noodle-y guitar effect, and 2) CAKE's version doesn't sound like like it ready to bust into “Baby I'm a Want You” at the end like this one does.

    How is is that a great song like the Sweet/Buckingham version of “Magnet and Steel” is only available on something like the “Sabrina..” soundtrack? You can't even buy the track separately on iTunes. I had to order the soundtrack CD used. Luckily, it wasn't a lot of money (for obvious reasons).

    I just looked at the track listing for that. Is it as horrible as it seems it would be?

  • Elaine

    Is it just me or are “It Don't Come Easy” and “Let It Rain” nearly the same song?

    It's not just you! I've been saying it for YEARS!

  • James B

    ROACHES!!!! As soon as I read the title Timex Social Club's Rumors popped into my head. When I was about 10 Roaches was my Jam.

  • David_E

    Great mix, dw. I've always wondered why that Jellyfish song never saw release. It's terrific.

  • Eric S.

    It's pretty bad, but you also have Ben Folds Five and Phantom Planet so it's not a total loss.

    They gave Melissa Joan Hart a song, but thankfully, Salem the talking cat doesn't sing.

    Wow, I never knew that Egan cover even existed. I love that song. Thanks, Jefito.
