"In My Room" was written by Brian Wilson for the 1963 Beach Boys album Surfer Girl. This week's mix features a rare German version sung by The Beach Boys with slightly rewritten lyrics, as well as covers by Grant Lee Buffalo and Langley Schools Project to go with the original.
"In Bloom" was a single off Nirvana's 1991 album Nevermind. This mix features both strings and lullaby versions as well as a recent cover by Sturgill Simpson to go with the original. Simpson's version somewhat inexplicably gets the chorus lyrics wrong.
One other song repeats in the mix: Simon & Garfunkel's "Dangling Conversation", with a cover by Joan Baez as well as the original.
"Un Jeune Homme Bien" is Petula Clark's French version of The Kinks' "A Well Respected Man". Other Kinks-written songs on here also include Peggy Lee's version of "I Go To Sleep" and their rare ballad "And I Will Love You".
The rest: Talbin Kweli's witty Doom collaboration "Fly That Knot", the melodic "Anorak City" by Another Sunny Day, the Brixton Flavor remix of "Passin' Me By" by The Pharcyde, the 12 inch version of Prince's "Raspberry Beret", the spelling-conscious "B.O.B.B.Y." by RZA alias Bobby Digital, the mellow "Feelin That Feeling's Good" by Minnie Riperton, Marianne Faithfull's version of the traditional ballad "Scarborough Fair", Charley Patton's raw "Lord I'm Discouraged", Henry Maincini's Pink Panther soundtrack theme "Champagne And Quail", Doris & Kelley's yearning soul ballad "You Don't Have To Worry" and the instrumental demo of Phil Collins' soundtrack theme "Against All Odds".
