It’s not saying…¶

Triggered by Clemens' writing on compilation tapes and CDs, I remembered that I intended and indeed had announced to put up their tracklistings here. So, to begin with I'll feature the CD I gave to Dan when visiting him in England recently.
The CD is called It's not saying a doctor that makes me a doctor – it's the white coat that makes me a doctor. That's quite a long name for a CD. It is related to the CD's cover which features a photo of Dan ingeniously dressed up as Dr. Zoidberg, who in turn contributed the CD's name in some Futurama episode or another.
As for the tracks, I couldn't resist putting in the Futurama slant at the beginning. These are followed by a few electronic tracks because Dan likes that sort of thing. Putting in a whopping fourteen minutes of Alec Empire right at the start may be pushing it a bit too far – no risk, no fun. Then come more pop-ish tracks, including the overwhelmingly brilliant In/Out by Stereo Total and a cool semi-German version of Love Me Till Tuesday by Bowie. Then a bit of alternative stuff and some German songs to end with, having in mind that Dan is probably the most open for strange German bands of my friends in England.
Here come the tracks:
- Futurama Theme
- New World Order (1 & 2), Alec Empire
- Paper Tiger, Spoon
- The Love Program, Das Pop
- Canabis, Ska P
- In/Out, Stereo Total
- Lieb Mich Bis Dienstag, David Bowie
- Song For Jedi, Dionysos
- All I Really Want, Barry Bliss
- You Don't Have To Be A Scientist To Do Experiments With Your Heart, Jeffrey Lewis
- In Love, The Datsuns
- Seid Ihr Mit Mir, Surrogat
- Wahr Ist, Was Wahr Ist, Die Sterne
- Michael Ende, Du Hast Mein Leben Zerstört, Tocotronic
- Reiselust, Fehlfarben
- Ein Jahr (Es Geht voran), Fehlfarben
