3. String Cheese Incident with Keller Williams: "Best Feeling" (On the Road – 6/21/02, Manchester, Tennessee, 2002) You didn't have to attend Bonnaroo '02 to feel these collaborative sparks fly.
5. The Meters: "Cissy Strut" (The Meters, 1969) The oldest song in our Vegoose jukebox still sounds super-fresh and super-funky.
6. Grateful Dead: "Box of Rain" (American Beauty, 1970) Then, now and forever, the quintessential Phil Lesh tune.
7. Built to Spill: "Time Trap" (Keep it Like a Secret, 1999) Do you want to save your life? Listen to this cut's perfectly sculpted intro.
8. Toubab Krewe: "Bani" (Toubab Krewe, 2006) West African rhythms, straight outta Asheville, North Carolina, of course.
9. Dave Matthews & Tim Reynolds: "Jimi Thing" (Live at Luther College, 1999) As any Davehead can tell you, this one includes "What Will Become of Me?", which later became "Pantala Naga Pampa." Duh.
10. The Raconteurs: "Call it a Day" (Broken Boy Soldiers, 2006) Jack who? Brendan Benson steps to the mic on our favorite Racs cut.
11. Galactic: "The Moil" (Ruckus, 2003) A sort of futuristic "Pick Up the Pieces," for anyone scripting Swingers 2: Revenge of Double Down.
12. Dr. Octagon: "Earth People" (Dr. Octagonecologyst, 1996) "Armed with seven rounds of space doo-doo pistols/You may not believe, livin' on the Earth planet/My skin is green and silver, warhead lookin' mean/Astronauts get played, tough like the ukulele." Whatever you say, Keith.
13. Yonder Mountain String Band: "Girlfriend Is Better" (Mountain Tracks: Volume 4, 2006) David Byrne would be ... disoriented. These crazy kids cover The Minutemen's "Corona" on the same CD.
14. The Mars Volta: "Roulette Dares (The Haunt of)" (De-Loused in the Comatorium, 2003) Hard to imagine a song title capturing Vegoose's Vegas-meets-Halloween theme any better. 15. Fiona Apple: "Paper Bag" (When the Pawn Hits ..., 1999) About time for another female voice. Are there really only three on the bill?
16. Damian Marley: "Move!" (Welcome to Jamrock, 2005) Sorry, but we can't help but pluck the Marley tune that borrows from daddy's "Exodus."
17. Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers: "American Girl" (Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers, 1976) Sure, we could have picked a less obvious Petty number, but why? 18. Medeski Martin & Wood: "The Lover" (Friday Afternoon in the Universe, 1995) Try not moving any part of your body while listening. We dare you.
19. Gomez: "78 Stone Wobble" (Bring it On, 1998) If only every debut album contained a song this devastating.
20. The Killers: "Smile Like You Mean It" (Hot Fuss, 2004) Synthesizer has a home at Vegoose, too.
21. Robert Randolph & The Family Band: "I Don't Know What You Come to Do" (Live at The Wetlands, 2002) Harness this raw energy and you could power all of Elko.
22. Matt Costa: "Cold December" (Songs We Sing, 2006) Title to the contrary, this one feels made for the O.C. native's sunny afternoon set time.
23. The Roots: "The Next Movement" (Come Alive, 1999) They got the hot music all right, especially Kamal's killer keyboards on this track.
24. Ben Folds: "Bastard" (Songs For Silverman, 2005) "The whiz man'll never fit him like the whiz kid did." Aw, we still love you, Ben.
26. Jamie Lidell: "The City" (Multiply, 2005) Listen to it late at night, in your car, driving through—what else?—city streets. 27. Band of Horses: "The Great Salt Lake" (Everything All the Time, 2006) Can't get enough of that shimmering-guitar-enveloped chorus. 28. Maceo Parker: "Pass the Peas" (Life on Planet Groove, 1992) While the Godfather's away, his funky disciple will play.
29. Money Mark: "Maybe I'm Dead" (Push the Button, 1998) The sometime Beastie Boys cohort steps out with a drowsy slice of American Brit-pop.
30. Praxis: "Seven Laws of Woo" (Transmutation (Mutatis Mutandis), 1992) The Killer B's: Bernie, Bootsy, Brain and Buckethead. So how did AF get an invite?
31. Jenny Lewis with The Watson Sisters: "Rise Up With Fists!!" (Rabbit Fur Coat, 2006) Come down from the cosmos with this dusty alt-country ditty, with a Vegas shout-out to boot.
32. Grateful Dead: "Parallelogram" (Infrared Roses, 1991) When the Rhythm Devils get together, drum solos don't have to feel perfunctory.
33. The Coup: "ShoYoAss" (Pick a Bigger Weapon, 2006) Imagine a political OutKast. Like, a really, really political OutKast.
34. Guster: "Satellite" (Ganging Up on the Sun, 2006) One of those perfect little pop songs radio folks never seem to find.
35. Sound Tribe Sector 9: "Tokyo" (Artifact, 2005) Could have been plucked from the soundtrack to Lost in Translation.
36. My Morning Jacket: "Mahgeetah" (It Still Moves, 2003) We'll take a comfy chair, back porch, bottle of wine and this tune on a breezy autumn afternoon.
37. G. Love & Special Sauce: "Sweet Sugar Mama" (Coast to Coast, 1995) One last shot of blues before this bar closes for the night.
38. Phish: "Harry Hood" (A Live One, 1995) Trey played it solo-acoustic earlier this month, so you never know ...
