It was a simple idea - songs written by interesting artists, about other artists. Reggie Chamberlain King was in the thick of it, and soon we had more ideas than we could possibly manage in two hours. So there was no room for 'Jackie Wilson Said'. And sadly we didn't manage to fit Camera Obscura and 'Lloyd, I'm Ready To Be Heartbroken' in there. 'Levi Stubb's Tears' - that was another sad omission. Some other time, eh?
