10-06-05: You Leave No Room For Me

The last track on this mix from four years ago is exceedingly rare: a vocal demo of The Rolling Stones' "Sympathy For The Devil" from the fascinating Godard documentary One Plus One. In it, one watches the construction of this song from scratch.

Other stuff: the swinging instrumental "The Horse" by Cliff Nobles & Co., RZA's graphic "Glocko Pop" featuring his Wu-Tang Clan, the tender "Morning, Morning" by Richie Havens, Bob Dylan's reflective "Mama, You've Been On My Mind", an acoustic cover of The Beatles' "Don't Let Me Down" by The Stereophonics, Das EFX's witty "Jussummen", Taana Gardner's disco hit "Heartbeat", the mellow "Dedicated" by Digable Planets, the Lee 'Scratch' Perry production "Herb Vendor" by Leroy "Horsemouth" Wallace, Tom Waits' spirited "Chase The Clouds Away", Newcleus funky "Jam On Revenge (The Wikki-Wikki Song)", the winsome "Breakfast In America" by Supertramp, Linda Ronstadt's innocent "Different Drum", Joya Landis' reggae cover of the standard "Angel Of The Morning", the gentle "Don't Have To Shop Around" by The Mad Lads, the breezy "Never So Lonely" by Kostars, Rod Stewart's cover of Cat Stevens' "The First Cut Is The Deepest", Paul Westerberg's tender "Looking Up In Heaven", an acoustic version of Concrete Blonde's "Joey", Sinead O'Connor's cover of Buju Banton's "Untold Stories", Bettye Lavette's a capella version of Sinead O'Connor's "I Do Not Want What I Haven't Got" and the chipper "Joy Bells" by Tennessee Music And Printing Company Quartet.
