Artist	Song
The Shins	Pam Berry/Phantom Limb
New slang may change your life, but this will affirm it.
John Cage\Stephen Drury	Suite For Toy Piano
Blonde Redhead	Will there be stars?
Shonen Knife	Watching Girl
Dance Chromatic	Dance Chromatic
from Dance Chromatic Yes, all three have the same name. Very Minimal hi-hat driven piece of ambient/experimental techno. The rest of the album includes twitchy digital hardcore and a bit of aggressive acid, and two softer tracks like this. I found it for 1.00$ at a record shop.
Scarling	City Noise
The (International) Noise Conspiracy	Will it ever be quiet?(Live)
The Faint	Hypnotized
Rancid	Ruby Soho
Squarepusher	Problem Child
Naked Funk	Pleasing The Korean
The Golden Dream Orchestra	When The World Was Mine
from Shake Your Congas-another crazy cocktail party. Among all the hyper shouts and latin beats from this 60's kitsch comp lies a sad little sparse tune, driven by a lonely snare drum
Prefuse 73	We go our own way
The Shins	A comet appears
There is a numbness in your heart and it's growing..

Comment:

One of those fake film soundtracks for something i'm trying to work out in my head.

Set in june 2007, a month shy of the anniversary of the London Underground bombings, a disenchanted college student(in London,obv) and train hobbyist(or trainspotter, if you like) takes whatever savings she has and leaves for Tokyo, as the subway system is massive and intriguing.
Her first night there, she encounters an eccentric girl in a slightly worn male school outfit, who introduces herself as Takezura when she misplaces her train pass. Takezura is a runaway of sorts, an ex-student who makes her living pickpocketing the drunken and tired commuters on the last few trains out.

Elsewhere, a female schoolmate, Hachiko who'd become involved with(i.e. dated) the runaway has, in the midst of looking for her, taken on something of a benign vigilantism,foiling simple crimes.

Loosely based on Robert Bresson's "Pickpocket" and an assorted set of books, film, personal musings, and just a hint of anti-consumerism.
