"Chelsea Dagger" – 3:35
"The Gutterati?" - 2:28
"For the Girl" – 2:48
"Doginabag" – 3:20
"Creepin' Up the Backstairs" – 3:06
"Vince the Loveable Stoner" – 3:14
"Everybody Knows You Cried Last Night" – 3:54
"Baby Fratelli" – 3:57
"Got Ma Nuts from a Hippy" – 3:10
"Ole Black 'n' Blue Eyes" – 3:14 (unlisted track)

2. Don't you watch The Tube music channel?
I've seen the video for 'Flathead' a few times; mighty catchy tune, I must say.

5. I used to
we don't have that cable package anymore.

I used to watch The Tube a lot back when Josie was a baby ..a LOT especially in the middle of the night.

I basically quit when I had the misfortune of seeing the lead singer of Depeche Mode do some sort of pelvic thrust thing. I... I really don't want to talk about it it. It still haunts me.

7. Didn't Sting's son's band Fictionplane open for them when you saw them?
Edited on Wed Sep-19-07 08:31 AM by Rabrrrrrr
I just assumed they were touring together. They opened for the Police when I saw them - fucking awesome! Sting's son acts very much like Sting.
