04-01 Ace Of Cups – Glue
— recorded in San Francisco in the Summer Of Love, that’s 1967 to the young’ins, this wasn’t released until 40 years later. The band was a spur of the moment thing, did this one show and then fizzled away into real life. Luckily, it was recorded and i found it on vinyl.
04-02 Dead Kennedys – FFFRV 01 – Kill The Poor (1980)
— don’t bother eating them, they’re all tough and stringy.

— winds up all the themes of a great album.
05-01 Harry James & Kitty Kallen – Columbia 36833 – I’ll Buy That Dream (1945)
— have another version of this, a duet by Dick Haymes and Helen Forrest, whose voice I love, but this one has the Harry James Orchestra, at their pinnacle.

— musical guest on Saturday Night Live, back when the cast was truly funny.
05-04 Daisy Chainsaw (feat. Katie Jane Garside) – Eleventeen 06 – Love Your Money (1992)
— staple of college radio back when the grip of payola was beginning to unravel. Only one station in town still plays theis. Besides, now, WRFZ!
05-05 Kip Hanrahan – Conjure – Cab Calloway Stands In For The Moon 13 – Minnie The Moocher
— sure he appreciated the help, but… is this a kid’s singalong tune?
05-06 Notorious B.I.G. & Puff Daddy & Mase – Mo Money, Mo Problems
— ensemble tune was the huge Summer hit of the day. Mase had already been shot, BIG’s turn was to come soon.

— sometimes every one counts.
05-08 David Lindley & Wally Ingram – Twango Bango Deluxe 11 – People Sure Act Funny (2000)
— no room for the tune Money Changes Everything, this is a fine alt on the theme.
06-01 Sex Pistols – TGRNRS 05 – Substitute (1979)
— The Great Rock N Roll Swindle is a great hodge-podge of Sex Pistols rarities, lots of startling cover tunes, including this one origg’d from The Who.
06-02 Kinks – Low Budget 12 – A Gallon Of Gas (US Single Extended Version) (1979)
— quite the timely piece! Late addition, it popped into my head and said “Holy Crock, how could this one be left off?”
06-03 Vandals – Peace Thru Vandalism 06 – Anarchy Burger
— because what do you get when too many people have no money? Wet cheese!
06-04 Almanac Singers – Which Side Are You On 17 – All I Want

06-06 Pearl Bailey – Five Pound Box Of Money
— not just for Christmas anymore.
06-07 David Olney – Roses 05 – Millionaire (1991)
— begging a rebuttal.
06-08 Rantanplan – Tierra Y Libertad (1997)
— the reason Mexico doesn’t have revolutions either, despite its other troubles.
… and a bonus track …
07-01 Dead Kennedys – Bedtime For Democracy – Take This Job And Shove It
— the cover tune is one of the tamer tunes on this double album, titles to poke fun at Reagan’s Bonzo folly.
