	Track Description: Bill getting ready for his first scheduled meeting with MPDG. One of my favorite parts of Freaks and Geeks was when Bill is dancing for Neil and Sam, when Neil turns off the music. Bill says, "You cut me off mid-funk!" Brilliant. This is for you, Bill. SHOW LESS

	Track 4 from The Noise Made By People Length: 00:03:17 Year: 2000
	Track Description: 1st date. I first heard this song near the end of Ma femme est une actrice, with Charlotte Gainsbourg and her husband Yvan. The song has a St. Etienne, late-60's, electro-lounge vibe to it. Love love love the lyrics. "You won't find it by yourself You're gonna need some help And you won't fail with me around Come on let's go I will tell you if you change And who's been saying things It's hard to tell who is real in here Come on let's go" SHOW LESS

	Track 2 from From the Top of the World Length: 00:04:39 Year: 2008
	Track Description: From mybrightestdiamond.com/2008/09/ "After having fled Germany to escape the Naziâ€™s in 1933, composer Kurt Weill penned the music for â€œYoukali:Tango Habeneraâ€. Years later, Roger Fernay added lyrics describing a vagabond trip to an island of bliss called Youkali, whereupon landing a fairy would act as oneâ€™s personal tour guide. Youkali is a land of happiness and fulfilled desire, a place where all the stars shine brighter. But the dreamy mists dissipate in the second verse, as life progresses only tediously while poor human souls seek to escape to the mysterious utopia in vain." Beautiful song. Reminds me of Edith Piaf. Shara (MBD) plays The Queen on The Decemberist's Hazards of Love album.

	Track 12 from Arnold Schwarzenegger's Total Body Workout Length: 00:02:37 Year: 1984
	Track Description: Exercise time! Bill plays his handy workout LP. Vetiver covers "Burning for You", so I was investigating the song and found this exercise version of the original song. It sat in my cart for a while, and then Bill told me to add it. The song plays in the background as Arnie counts off twelve reps for the tricep dips, followed by bend over rolls. "Down. Up. Down. Up." Brilliant. If you don't feel like exercising, the song serves as a nice intermission. Go get an orange soda for me, while you're up. SHOW LESS

	Track 6 from Become The Soft.Lightes Length: 00:03:43 Year: 2004
	Track Description: I was looking for quirky songs and remembered The Incredible Moses Leroy. The album I have of his didn't contain anything I thought would work, so I look to see if he had new material... yes, yes he did. Less quirky, but 100% perfect for this mix. I absolutely love the atmosphere of the song. The piano and background vocals paint such a wonderful landscape. This is a from the "robot" to someone he misses. "When I heard our song on the radio It reminded me of us Another love song on the radio Another full moon broken heart I spent a lifetime on the open road Between the lion and a farm You gave me oil, I was a rusty load You even helped me find my heart" Excellent find.
