The Sporting Life
Billy Liar
July, July!
Shankill Butchers
The Engine Driver
On The Bus Mall
(new song)
The Rake's Song
O Valencia!

Eli, The Barrow Boy
Bye Bye Pride (Go-Betweens Cover)
Sons and Daughters
other thing I keep forgetting to tell you! How annoyed I was at the girl at sundance who worked at a coffee shop that banksy enhanced the wall of - she said something along the lines of liking it because it was of a man admiring a flower and taking a photo of it - the image is of a person so intent on getting the photo that they have ripped the flower out of the ground, essentially killing it - it was kinda obvious that it was a pap/media criticism but that might just be my art essay bias showing.
You decide.
