This week's epic edition of This Is Rock 'n' Roll Radio celebrated the roots of the Flashcubes and the Half/Cubes by programming the original versions of some of the many great songs those two related (but separate) groups have covered on official releases. As an addendum to that, here's the master list of material we had to choose from. This list only includes songs that have seen legit issue in a Flashcubes or Half/Cubes recording (live or studio). Additions are welcome.
