Tracklisting

 * File 1
 * Foreheads In A Fishtank: 'British Telecom' (Peel Session)
 * (JP: 'Falling an inch or two short of being a hymn of praise to one of our great national institutions.')


 * Assassins Of God: 'No Music Tonight (7")' (Broken Rekids)
 * Foreheads In A Fishtank: 'Happy Shopper' (Peel Session)
 * (JP: 'You wouldn't think such a noise could come out of Leigh-On-Sea, would you? I mean, he manages to sound like Morrissey and Noddy Holder in the same song.')


 * Pain Teens: 'Poured Out Blood (Compilation 7"-Love & Napalm Vol. 2)' (Trance Syndicate)
 * Smog: 'Mice (7"-Floating EP)' (Drag City)
 * Pavement: 'Summer Babe (7")' (Drag City)
 * (JP: 'I hope that tomorrow, when I'm doing my Uncle Johnny Boy routine at Reading, in the afternoon and evening, that I'll get loads of requests to play that record. For those of you who don't go to these things, it's a case of kind of classic suppression of the ego thing, because unlike most comperes (which I think is the way to do it) I don't bound to the front of the stage in a funny hat, and, you know, be Mr. Personality Plus. In fact, I never appear on the stage at all. I just stand off of the side of it, playing records that nobody likes much except me, and when called upon to do so, say the names of the bands in a loud voice and everybody cheers, and I get paid for doing it, and a hotel room, and get to see the bands as well. It's jolly good, I think.') 


 * Foreheads In A Fishtank: 'Sex And Drugs And' (Peel Session)
 * (JP: 'This is a mighty band, listeners. Forget all of that fashion stuff and fling yourself into this.')


 * Amen: 'Ruoska Ja Perse (LP-Paranemia)' (Spinefarm)
 * (JP: 'The title of the track I don't intend to try and pronounce without corrective surgery, but this is the LP that has printed on the label, "Play too loud". What a fine instruction that is.')


 * File 2
 * Foreheads In A Fishtank: 'Sylvester's Mother' (Peel Session) (preceded briefly by something else-unintentionally)
