Mink Car Companion Cd

Way back when I was much more dedicated to music I'd dig up demos of bands and listen to them before the album leaked. There are two really interesting ones, Mike Patton's Peeping Tom demos, and the demos for Beck's The Information. For the sake of doing something a little different, but not too different, I'm going to go back and try and assemble the various TMBG demos I have from my collection, and related B-sides, and make companion cds. As I've been on this Mink Car kick, I figured I'd start there. Mink Car has a good number of demos, b-sides, and remixes available. I went through what looks like it's relevant and good and it goes as follows (based on Mink Car US track order):
Bangs (Unlimited Version)
Bangs (McSweeney's Version)
Cyclops Rock (Unlimited Version)
Man, It's So Loud In Here (Clock Radio Version)
Man, It's So Loud In Here (Unlimited Version)
Man, It's So Loud In Here (Hot 2002 Remix)
Mr. Xcitement (Early Version)
Another First Kiss (Unlimited Version)
I've Got A Fang (Unlimited Version)
Hovering Sombrero (Dial-A-Song Version)
Hovering Sombrero (Unlimited Version)
Drink! (Unlimited Version)
Mink Car (Demo Version)
Mink Car (Jim O'Conner Version)
Mink Car (Live Unlimited)
Wicked Little Critta (Dial-A-Song Version)
Finished With Lies (Demo Version)
Finished With Lies (Radio TMBG Version)
All MacGyver On It
Your Mom's Alright
There's also a weird doubled-piano delay in the mix error kind of thing version of She Thinks She's Edith Head that I can't seem to find a mention of anywhere. Oh well. Also, there are versions of Yeh Yeh, My Man, and maybe another song or two that the Unlimited versions are supposed to be the exact same ones as on Mink Car. It's close, at least. I'll give it a good listen later.

It's probably also possible for John Henry, the early years, and maybe even one for No!, State Songs, and other stuff. More words on this and these when they finalize some more.
