5. Line Up (Lennie Tristano)
6. Mach Doch (Fischmob)
7. Acetate Prophets (Jurassic 5)
8. The Deforme (Beatniks)
9. Sham Gayi Raat Aai, from Shri 420 (Lata Mangeshkar)
10. Bagatellen for String Quartet (Anton Webern)
11. Living Life [w/Rec Center] (Prefuse 73)
12. Po Lazuras (some chain gang from the O Brother Where Art Thou soundtrack)
