10. 2(9) Days In February
11. Acoustic #4 (New Recording)

15. Before It's Too Late [Instrumental] [Bonus]

DISC 2

I'm gonna go ahead and call a fake. If I'm wrong, I'm wrong...

A. No source and therefore no credibility.

B.
2. Back To Back (Replacements Cover) - I'd like to think they'd pick a cooler 'Mats song
3. Take Me Out - Since there's no description, I'm assuming this is supposed to be "Take Me Out to the Ballgame"? No way they'd put a cheesy novelty song on here before awesome songs like Nothing Change Change You or Don't Change. And no way they'd put it at track 3.
4. Streets Of Philadelphia/Buffalo (Bruce Springsteen Cover) - No way they'd change words
7. Black Balloon (Robby Vocals) - Seems like a terrible idea. Like the song, love Robby, but they don't go together.
10. 2(9) Days In February - What? I'd like to believe they wouldn't have done ANOTHER remake of Two Days. And I don't think they'd play off an old title.
11. Acoustic #4 (New Recording) - See #10.
13. Bitch - Just seems unlikely with the Lance vocals and all... I also suspect they'd favor B-Sides from Mike's days rather than George's.

C. Skeptical on the video disc because Robby said he was looking at old PBS and VH1 footage to include, which seems to not be present.

I believe Lazy Eye will be on there and I believe the possible date. And that's about it...

Thanks for the read..

I agree with nmf009 for all the same reasons. Plus "In the Mist" and "Pocket Watch" don't seem like titles they would name their songs either.

I'm inclined to agree with Nicole. �The track listing sounds fake to me. �I could see Lazy Eye and I'm Awake Now being on there, an instrumental of Before It's Too Late, and a cover of a Replacements song, of course.

But the rest seems a bit far fetched ...
a) Black Balloon with Robby on vocals doesn't seem likely at all; they just don't go together at all
b) a new mix of Hate This Place; wasn't that just filler on the Dizzy Up The Girl album
c) Acoustic #4 and 29 Days In February; they sound more like puns than actual songs
d) Pocket Watch and In The Mist; WTF?!
e) Bitch; didn't George do the drums on that track; if they couldn't use the original Name for the first Greatest Hits CD because of George's drumming, it doesn't seem likely this would be on the second Greatest Hits CD either
f) Blood; is this suppose to be In Your Blood? If it is, I could somewhat believe it could be on there
g) Streets of Philadelphia; I think John mentionned he liked Bruce Springsteen, but I don't think they'd be cheesy enough to change the lyrics to be about Buffalo
h) Iris Demo; ugh, put this song out of its misery already

I could go on, but I'm already sick of it.
(Plus there's no version of Give A Little Bit on it. :D)

That deserves a banning, Mike. �Until then, here's a frowny face to show my disapproval. �>:(

Quote:

d) Pocket Watch and In The Mist; WTF?!

I didn't say anything about these because who knows what to except fron new songs, but I agree with Mike and Carlyn, these are very unlikely titles coming from the Goos. �Also, I can't imagine that if there will be new songs on this album that they would have been recorded yet, and therefore wouldn't have proper names yet.

Quote:

e) Bitch; didn't George do the drums on that track; if they couldn't use the original Name for the first Greatest Hits CD because of George's drumming, it doesn't seem likely this would be on the second Greatest Hits CD either

I had speculated on GHV1 that the rerecording of Name was done to avoid costs, but it was never officially stated by anyone. �Also, they'd still be allowed to use George's drumming, as shown by EOAC, they'd just have to pay him. �And since I expect there to already be covers on this album, they'll have to pay some people anyways, so it's likely there will be some George drumming (even though I do think they'll favor Mike-era songs).

Quote:

h) Iris Demo; ugh, put this song out of its misery already

Hahahahahaha. �For some reason I'm okay with the chance of an Iris demo. �I feel like Iris was famous enough to make another appearance. �

Oh, and I'd like to point out that it is almost of unheard of to have a tracklisting out 3 months before the supposed release date. And I'd like to think that they'll utilize the space on this cd and fill it with 20ish tracks.

And it's already been arranged that if GALB is on here in any form, Drew's coming to Buffalo and we're slapping every member of the band. �Feel free to join us. �:D

And none of the supposed new songs are listed in the ASCAP database as John's, Robby's, or the band's.

As comparison, Tuesday is listed as written by John and performed by the Goos.

Post by DWG on Jan 12^th, 2008, 5:44pm

Hopefully, anything labelled as a "new recording" doesn't indicate a song that was left off of Let Love In. Because I �would assume they chose the best available songs to go on the album. And if something was worse than those...

:-X

Anyhow, I like surprises. I will wait to see the track list when it comes out. Not much of a gambler, I am.

Actually, you'd be surprised. Did you ever see/hear any of Name from the Cleveland show? Because you'd never think of Robby singing it before Johnny made him, but it totally works.
...
Even Mike singing that song works...Trust me, I was there...

Yes, I've seen/heard Robby and Mike singing Name. Mike singing (dramatically reciting Chris Walken style) did not work for me and if I remember correctly, Robby sounded fine, but Name and Black Balloon are two very different hurdles. And in my opinion, it seems like a terrible idea. No worries though, because the more I think about it, the more I know there's no chance in hell this is a real tracklist.

I knew someone would be PO'd that I called Hate This Place a filler song but I wrote it anyways. It just doesn't scream "radio single" to me ... sorry. :'(

I too don't think this is the real track list. There's just too much randomness. They also have many more way better b-list tracks than Take Me Out. Something about this just doesn't feel right.

If the CD isn't coming out until April, I agree with Nicole that there's no way we'd know the tracklist yet.

Thanks for posting and giving us something interesting to discuss.

Post by djgeneral on Jan 13^th, 2008, 11:10am

I believe this is just a draft of the CD. I'm sure not all of these songs will make, but it is just giving us an idea. I have some contacts in the music industry/radio, and I was able to get some of his. I will keep you guys updated of course with any updates I can get my hands on.

Just wondering, what makes you guys think that "In The Mist" and "Pocket Watch" do not sound like Goo titles lol. I think any title of any song (ok within reason! lol) could be a title, but that's just me -- I don't like In The Mist but for some reason, Pocket Watch sounds interesting to me.

Title: Re: Goo Greatest Hits Rarieties TRACK LIST (???)
Post by Saz_Goo on Jan 13^th, 2008, 11:37am

LOL, wow, from that list I have to say I'm surprised "Walkin' With My Monkey" didn't make the cut too... :P ;)

I know I don't post much, bad lurking disease going on nowadays, but I guess I'm joining the cynical group. I'll wait til we have a confirmed list from a "revealed" source rather than a guess. Something about Pocket Watch, [Gorillas] In The Mist (sorry, its what my mind went to when I saw the title), 2 (9) Days in Feb and Acoustic #4 don't sit well with me. I guess Pocket Watch could be a Robby song, but I doubt there'll be many (if any) new Robby songs on there judging from the (lack of) record label love for his songs on the last few albums...

And LOL DWG! I think I would die of disappointment if we got any B-sides from Let Love In.

But yeah dj general, at least it gives us something to discuss in a calm, rational and sensible manner. :P I'm sure you understand why people aren't swallowing the whole of this. We need more than one source I guess. I'll be first in line to accept it when we get a WB statement....

Sorry, but I think this is really lame. This whole thing reeks of "the GGD boards are slow and boring, how about I make something up to cause some activity".

You post the initial post on two different messageboards yesterday and there isn't even a slight disclaimer that it might not be real and tell us to believe it. Then, some people don't buy it and you start backtracking and calling it 'a draft' (a day later) to give us an idea. We already had an idea as the band has already said this disc could have demos, rarities, b-sides, covers, or new songs. Providing an unfounded tracklist of some random b-sides and made up covers and new songs doesn't give us an idea of anything, it just causes confusion.

Pocket Watch sounds like a hip-hop song where there's some skeevy dude who sits on the street corner scoping out who he's gonna pick-pocket next.

yo.

I just thought about the Goos doing a version of Spider Pig. I can imagine them doing it. Dunno whether that's bad or not.

FTC made me laugh. Any possibility I could get directions to the other songs, please? :]
