This is a collection of dialasong.com (and tmbg.com) downloads that fell through the cracks, from the very earliest days when the songs were WAV downloads, through the QuickTime-powered era, plus a few standouts from the recent Flash hurdy-gurdy-man incarnation. Many are pretty lo-fi, but I put them on a single disc for archival purposes, and chose to make it an audio CD so I could hear it in the car. I also included, as CD-ROM data, some of the files from which the audio tracks were derived (plus some extras that wouldn't fit in both formats). The data is track 1; I don't have the right software to burn it so that it cues up the music first.
The tracklist completely ignores all considerations of fidelity, freely alternating decent-sounding tracks with scratchy, hissy ones. It gives preference to alternating Johns, and to exclusive songs and demos that differ greatly from their final versions.
