There was a Wire cover band by that name. Wire hired them to open their concerts and play older Wire songs.
I learned that when I tried to search the YouTubes.
Fred: It's the pictures in my mind that are getting me. It's like being stuck in a really bad movie with those Clockwork Orange clampy things on my eyeballs. Wesley: Why imagine? Reality's disturbing enough.
'Shells'
Buffista Music 4: Needs More Cowbell!
There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Shir, your link does not work. I love that song, but have only heard the Wire version (I think).
edit: Ah, you fixed it. And I read your list wrong and thought the song was called "Ex Lion Tamer". Duh.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
my mix would not be that heavy leaning country. I'll try to remember and do it once I get home.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Quite the mix, eh?
You are all over the place.
I was surprised I had such recognizable tunes, but I was shuffling off the Macbook which isn't as dense with a berjillion obscurities (and soundtrack cues) as the desktop computer.

Apparently you only have like twelves songs and one of those is from a Dr. John compilation.
I suspected as much.

When I hit shuffle on iTunes, it clumps a lot of artists together. I have no idea why. Are there shuffle settings I can, you know, set?
My iPod does much better:
Boliva -- The Blue Wisp Big Band
Part of the Process -- Morcheeba
You Do Something to Me -- Benny Goodman
Once is Enough -- Lyle Lovett
Lucky Ball & Chain -- TMBG
