All downloads have been posted with permission from the bands themselves. Thanks bands!
1. Nicole Atkins and the Sea: "The Way It Is"

Latest comment by: Levi: "I just remembered the theory I came up with last night but forgot: that song was this year's "feel good hit of the summer," hence its inclusion in the song by that name."
Latest comment by: toolazytologin: "I don't know, after reading the comment above, I went to the AndWutz's MySpace page, and they even admitted they started out as a joke band. "
