10-15-15: She Wanted Truth And All She Got Was Lies

"How Insensitive" is a jazz and bossa nova standard composed by Antonio Carlos Jobim. This mix features versions by fellow Brazilian Astrid Gilberto, Ella Fitzgerald, Peggy Lee, Bobby Boyle & The Trio and Frank Sinatra with Jobim.

One other song repeats across the mix: The Guess Who's jazzy "Undun", with a version by Hugo Montenegro.

The rest: Esther Phillips' plaintive "That's All Right With Me", the atmospheric "Brakhage" by Stereolab,  Royce Da 5' 9"'s aptly-titled "Boom", Billy Barrix's hiccuping "Almost", MF DOOM's eerie "Absolutely", the dramatic "Who Killed Bambi?" by The Sex Pistols with Edward Tudor-Poole, Heat Wave's sweet  "All You Do Is Dial", the melodic "Dancing In the Rain" by Blu & Exile, Betty Davis' funky "I Will Take That Ride", Teddy Grace's sprightly "The Life Of The Party", Big Star's urgent "Feel", Yo La Tengo's tender "Did I Tell You",  Ronnie Spector's cover of the Johnny Thunders punk standard "You Can't Put Your Arms Around A Memory", Hurray For The Riff Raff's cover of Spector's pop standard "Be My Baby" by The Ronettes and Erik Suhkre's moody instrumental "Razor Girl".
