- 19 and 25 were chosen by Hip Hop Trainee Brian. I tried to make them fit in as little as possible for enhanced interestingness. Also I brought out what I believe is our only 80's hip hop, the M/A/R/R/S "Pump Up The Volume" 12", but it turned out to be warped.

- The Kinks and "Friday I'm In Love" were requests.

- I always enjoy playing "Not Too Soon" partially because it's the last song Tanya Donnelly recorded with the band, released on an album that I think came out after she left the Throwing Muses to form Belly, which is why it sounds exactly like a Belly song. It questions the notion of ownership yada yada yada authorship of whatever. Also, it rules.
