- Doug has enough Mellencamp in Homer's on a Friday night. Sorry Eddie.

- The Painfully Cheesy Love Song of The Week: 'Meet Me In My Dreams Tonight' by Brian Wilson circa 1988 or some time around then. Ouch.

Contents:
- If you didn't know, 'E.T.' is Doug's favorite movie.
- Doug gets to park in the covered garage at work now.
- An unfinished instrumental FLAF track from an album idea that was about making cool instrumentals for Megan and Trilety to play in their bakery. Probably would have been called 'Bird Songs' or something, I guess. It was made by recording melodies over 'Total Job' by The Faint. Really.

Contents:
- Trilety sends me a voicemail rap while I'm visiting my folks in Florida.

Contents:
- 'Fizzle Like a Flood' by Tripmaster Monkey (7" version)
