For some reason it reminded me of YYYs Y Control video from when I first saw it years ago.

Anyway, pre High Violet here it is:

  1. About Today (White Sessions)
  2. Fake Empire (Live)
  3. All the Wine
  4. Abel
  5. Murder Me Rachel (live)
  6. Apt Story
  7. Start A War
  8. All Dolled up in Straps
  9. Cardinal Song
  10. Slow Show / 29 Years
