Neither Phish nor Foul

"There are some decent oldies strewn around here, but they can be found in better suuroundings or original oldies compilations. The covers by contemporary artists such as Blink 182, Semisonic, and Blues Boy King may be of curious interest to completests.
The best of the "new" cuts made for this Made for TV mock-u-mentory, the sweet, sweet, Chante Moore vocal with the Emeralds on "WALL AROUND MY HEART", beats all. That cut is as strong as anything on the Tom Hanks produced film THAT THING YOU DO.
Honestly, if your heart is into remarks of oldies but goodies or you just can't pull your self away from your stratchy 45's, try the briliantly right-on GRACE OF MY HEART soundtrack (movie was ok too), or even the campy guest-fest by Shudder To Think, "First Love, Last Rites" (soundtrack).
...on the other hand, it's better than Trout Mask Replica by Captain Beefheart."
