Ugh.  Better Than Ezra aren't better than anyone.
You spin me right 'round, baby, right 'round

Always happy to hear Aimee Mann, though this is a pretty vanilla offering from her. Still gets a VHM.

9am meeting went long so I am just checking in now, hearing Oasis, Live Forever, which I am guessing is tune # 9 or 10.

ETA: Yep, #10.

1. Good - Better Than Ezra
(I am Spartan, check me out)
2. That's Just What You Are - Aimee Mann
3. Say It Ain't So - Weezer
4. Hey Man, Nice Shot - Filter
5. The Man Who Sold The World - Nirvana
6. One Of Us - Joan Osborne
7. Hello Spaceboy - David Bowie
(lets dock)
8. Born Slippy - Underworld
9. Whiter Shade Of Pale - Annie Lennox
10. Live Forever - Oasis

Despite FFs at #1 (albeit one I like quite a lot) and #6 (OTOH a HFH IMO), this was one hell of a set. A good mix of snoozy & harder tunes, Filter with a song that isn’t Take a Picture, Annie Lennox with a cover that isn’t Train in Vain AND a song that’s not Little Bird, a Bowie cover and a perfect Bowie tune, into UNDERWORLD. (!!)

Concur (although it would be nice to hear something besides "Good" (Better Than Ezra does have quite the catalog, after all). I consider "One Of Us" to be a Toad.
