1. WHEAT
"I Met A Girl"
FROM THE RELEASE Per Second, Per Second, Per Second…Every Second
LABEL Aware/Columbia
LINER NOTES "I met a girl I'd like to know better, but I'm already with someone." Wheat actually makes this dilemma sound fun in "I Met A Girl," from their third CD.

2. POLYPHONIC SPREE
"Light And Day"
FROM THE RELEASE The Beginning Stages Of...
LABEL Hollywood
LINER NOTES According their bio, Polyphonic Spree is "more than a 22-person ensemble in white robes…more than a psychedelic pop band." What can you add to that? Available for airplay now.

3. PAUL WESTERBERG
"My Daydream"
FROM THE RELEASE Come Feel Me Tremble
LABEL Vagrant
LINER NOTES Westerberg returns with his first new music in 18 months, with the first of two tastes here. "My Daydream" is up-tempo, raw and a little on the sloppy side.

4. COLIN BLADES
"White Holiday" (edit)
FROM THE RELEASE Colin Blades
LABEL Connoisseur
LINER NOTES Colin Blades has a famous father, but "White Holiday" won't remind you of Night Ranger or Damn Yankees. This is solid, melodic and from the light and breezy file, from Blades' debut.

5. STROLLER
"Back Around"
FROM THE RELEASE Six Inches Off The Ground
LABEL Compadre
LINER NOTES Who said they don't rock in Nashville? Stroller would beg to differ. Incorporating a two-guitar, bass and drums lineup, Stroller has a Southern feel, but this is clearly rock & roll.

6. SCOTT THOMAS
"Time Of My Life"
FROM THE RELEASE Lovers And Thieves

7. PAUL WESTERBERG
"Wild & Lethal"
FROM THE RELEASE Come Feel Me Tremble
LABEL Vagrant
LINER NOTES "Wild & Lethal" is the second of two new Westerberg cuts on this disc. It starts off bluesy and turns into something straight off the Replacement's 1989 Don't Tell A Soul album.

8. THE JIGSAW SEEN
"We Women"
FROM THE RELEASE We Women
LABEL Vibro-phonic

"Bravedancing"
FROM THE RELEASE Public Record

10. TOM LANGFORD
"Cadmium Angels"
FROM THE RELEASE Mercy to Be Found
LABEL Bella Vista

11. MICHAEL KLINE
"Every Other Weekend"
