It's obvious that GK enjoys singing, and I admire him for brazenly singing on the radio (live!) even though he doesn't have a good voice. But I still wish he would stop. Damn straight on #3B.

I must disagree with you on item #1. My fave band, The Floating Men, frequently put hidden tracks on their CDs. (esp. the live bootlegs) I think of these hidden tracks like little gifts from the band for those fans patient and tenacious enough to find them. On their latest, they end the CD with the sound of vinyl cue-burn (needle on the end of a record) for almost 25 minutes before you hear a fun, impromptu live song that they have never before recorded. BONUS! Also, on a few of their albums they include voicemail messages left to/fro band members as segues to tunes. I think this makes it more personal, and gives me a little glimpse of who these guys are OUTSIDE of the band. I find it comical and warming. Hmmmm. I must disagree with you on item #1.

There is a Sonic Youth CD that came out in the day of single-disc players that includes a <i>negative</i> track number. If you can't get to track 9 on Daydream Nation. And discs with all art are confusing, particularly when you have a shared CD collection. Even if it has been 14 years... Hansome Boy Modeling School has some great music, but there is far too much interstitial banter (an ongoing "story"). This would be a perfect CD for ripping and ignoring those interstitials.
