Marcus Eoin's commentary on each individual track is included in bullets below.
Track Listing
1. John Denver - "I'd Rather be a Cowboy"
- For collecting firewood
2. John Frusciante - "Regret"
- Now the fire's lit we need spacerock.
3. Sufjan Stevens - "A Good Man is Hard to Find"
- There's a great out of tune chorus that shouldn't work but it does.
4. Smith Perkins Smith - "Say no More"
- A cowboy classic. Any song that uses 'dust bowl' gets my thumbs up.
5. The Beach Boys - "Celebrate the News"
- There's a beach boys song for every occasion. Who needs drugs when there's music like this.
6. Ween - "Among his Tribe"
- Time to get the marshmallows out. Ween are so good they're like a hundred bands for the price of one.
7. Yo La Tengo - "Tiny Birds"
- Time to gather some more combustibles.
8. Bonnie Prince Billy - "No More Workhouse Blues"
- The best use of pedal steel I've heard in a long while.
9. Mark Johnson - "Asia Major"
- By now you'll be lying on your back looking at the stars. The best song writer this side of the Kuiper Belt.
10. Joni Mitchell - "Amelia"
- Maybe the most perfect song ever recorded. When the fire's burning down and you want one last song echoing out as you make your way home, this should be it.
