1. Notwist - One Step Inside Doesn't Mean You Understand (3)
2. Pavement - Date with Ikea (3)
3. Ad Frank - Hauls and Ryders (3)
4. John Vanderslice - Time Travel is Lonely (2) - I don't think Spoon makes any significant addition to this version.
5. Her Space Holiday - The Luxury of Loneliness (2)
6. Dntel - Anywhere Anyone (3)
7. Elliott Smith - Between the Bars (4)
8. Guided by Voices - The Things I Will Keep (3) - I admired how proficient Bob Pollard was, but I never really "got" it. Incidentally, "Under the Hedge" is about Ted meeting Pollard and Pollard being an ass to him. It really disillusioned Ted about how great that guy really was.
9. New Pornographers - The Slow Descent into Alcoholism (4)
10. Hefner - May God Protect Your Home (2)
11. Pinback - Syracuse (3)
12. Sufjan Stevens - Size Too Small (3)
13. Pavement - Here (3)
14. Kleenex Girl Wonder - Ain't Going Anywhere Soon (4)
15. Komeit - Same, Same (2)

I'm pretty sure every Kleenex Girl Wonder song on "Ponyoak" is at least a 3 and a lot are 4s. That's a gimme in my book.

Overall: 2.9
