Recording a "real" CD! -- vote for your favorite songs

My former landlord owns a recording studio in Chapel Hill. As I mentioned at the time, I helped him out with some web work. He agreed to give me some recording time in exchange. We hope to do that later this month.

So, I need to figure out what songs to record. That's where you come in. I'd like your thoughts on what songs I should prioritize on recording. I don't really know how many I'll have time for and I may pay for more time later. I was thinking it'd be nice to get at least 4 tracks.

You can see a list that includes most of my better songs on my music page. Please let me know what you think in the comments section of this post and thanks in advance for the feedback.

I vote for everything except "Snowball". Do you want more, such as rating them? Mom

Yes, ordering them would be good, since I probably won't be able to do everything in the first session.

My uncle Bryan (link to his photo page on sidebar) put the songs into four teirs. I'll give the top two:

1st: That Girl's Got a Boyfriend Blues, Mostly I'm Just Lonely

2nd: Natalie Portman, Liberty St., Angry White Man, Back to the States, TSGFM, Going Away, Drunken Fratboy, Ballad of Ben Linder, Sith Lov'n'

He did it off a copy of the long version of my demo, so it includes songs that aren't on the site (at least yet).

I should note that I have a good live recording of Mostly I'm Just Lonely, so I think I'll be using that.

Also, I feel that Drunken Fraboy is dated since the '04 election is passed.

1: Back to the States, Mostly I'm Just Lonely

2: Sith Lov'n', T.S.G.F.M., Natalie Portman, Bad for Me
