2. I broke up (live @ emo's)
3. Hives hives

5. Apistat commander
6. Sad redux-o-grapher (life & live)
7. Fast car
8. Sad pony guerilla girl
9. Jennifer lopez
10. Fabulous muscles (insound version)
11. I luv the valley
12. Clowne towne
13. Ale
14. Baby captain
15. Save me, save me

hard for me to imagine which tracks would appeal to the fine folks of japan. so my choices would mainly be the more conventional (accessible?) songs. then again, boredoms et al. so who knows.

As a newb it's ridiculous for this to be a first post, but oh well.

Here's the mix of you guys that I rock:

1. Dr. Troll
2. Ceremony (from remix double disc)
3. Save Me Save Me
4. Muppet Face (my favorite Xiu Xiu song)
5. Sad Pony Guerrilla Girl
6. Fabulous Muscles (Mama Black Widow version)
7. Brooklyn Dodgers (Fag Patrol version)
8. Jennifer Lopez (Fag Patrol version)
9. Don't Cha
10.Bog People
11.Apistat Commander
12.Pox
13.Poe Poe (Live on Radio 3: wish this were on CD)
14.Clowne Towne
15.I Luv the Valley, OH!

Stuff that's on the mix that got cut:
- Prince Charming (XXL count? Usually track 8)
- Hives Hives (track 16)
- Suha (track 17)
- Paw Paw Paw Paw Paw Paw Paw (track 19 with "I Luv the Valley, OH!" usually as track 18)
- Dr. Troll (Fag Patrol version)

You guys dominated at CMJ: I saw you last October in Ohio and you were amazing, yet you're still somehow better now. Can't wait for the new one!
