I recorded this onto mp3. That would explain the weird jumps, becauese I put a lot of the Robyn-speech on their own tracks, which you may have edited out to put just the music on a disc. If so, your missing Freeze inbetween Another Bubble and Ride, and then after Ruling Class comes Lysander, Unsettled, Balloon Man, I'm Only You, Withered And Died, She Said She Said, If You Were A Priest.

PAUL WESTERBERG GETS DUMPED BY CAPITOL RECORDS Sources at Capitol Records have confirmed that Paul Westerberg is no longer signed to the label. Although reasons for the move were not specified, it's worth noting that much of Westerberg's original motivation for signing with the company in 1995 lay in the understanding that his career would be managed by then-label president Gary Gersh. As it turned out, within months of the deal Gersh left Capitol to embark on such projects as co-founding the artist management company, G.A.S. The one album Westerberg released on Capitol -- 1999's Suicaine Gratifaction -- met with disappointing sales. No word yet regarding future plans for the former Replacements frontman. - Neil Chrisley [PS Wow...the Oasis album plunges from #24 to #84 in its second week of release?

My guess is that it is indeed a forgery. Just in reading the headers by eyeball, I see that it was an aol.com user connected to hotmail via HTTP (like every hotmail user).
