"People"--Second single from In the Music.  FREE HUGS! In the time since the YouTube description of the video was written by Trashcan Sinatras guitarist John Douglas ("If anyone knows the identity of the two wonderful hugging Glasgow girls, please get in touch with us at info@trashcansinatras.com.  We would love to thank them personally for the joy they released on that glorious sunny autumnal Glasgow afternoon on Sunday the 4th of October 2009"), the two women in the video giving out the hugs did get located and identified, and were asked (and accepted) to attend one of the band's shows in Scotland soon after.
"Should I Pray"--From the album In the Music.  The Trashcan Sinatras' producer on In The Music, Andy Chase, is a neighbor of Carly Simon's on Martha's Vineyard. The band had asked him to try and persuade her to perform on the album. She heard "Should I Pray" and immediately wanted to add her voice to the recording. That's lead guitarist Paul Livingston wandering through the cemetery paying homage to guitarists (and others) who have passed on.
"Prisons"--From the album In the Music.  Great uptempo song; intelligently written.  When played live, the cadence of the song naturally launches into sort of a George Harrison "My Sweet Lord" vibe, which lead singer Frank Reader uses to full advantage by singing "My sweet lord / he's so fine", a clever play on the plagiarism controversy involving George Harrison's song and the Chiffon's "He's So Fine".

Piper Ferguson provides most of the stylish black and white photography is this video, with the exception of some shots that were taken during live performances in Tokyo, Japan.
"Easy on the Eye"--From the album In the Music.  Recorded by Yours Truly during an in-store performance at R5 Records in Sacramento, CA (sorry about the obtrusive time/date stamp).  I especially like this video because of the banter taking place between Frank Reader and the audience both before and after the song.  C'mon, it's easy!
The band plays a cover of the Beatles' "Hello Goodbye" in an advertisement for Narita Airport in Tokyo, Japan--the very same airport at which Paul McCartney was busted for pot possession back in 1980. Coincidence?
"Oranges and Apples"--First single from In the Music.  A seven-minute tribute to ex-Pink Floyd front man Syd Barrett, who had died not too long beforehand.  The title was a reversal of the Syd Barrett-penned "Apples and Oranges", and contained many references to Syd's life.  The Trashcans' version ends with a three-and-a-half minute psychedelic (yet very melodical) instrumental meandering, much in the vein of the psychedelic Barrett-led Pink Floyd of the late 60's.
Anyone remember this Qwest commercial from 2006? You're hearing Frank Reader, lead singer from the Trashcan Sinatras, singing the Beatles' "Got To Get You Into My Life". This 1 minute spot has earned the band probably more money than any other musical endeavor they've taken on over the years, maybe even put together. Frank even said that it helped pay for a large chunk of their fifth studio album In The Music.
"Wild Mountainside"--Released as a single only, in 2005.  Listening to this simple song makes you think you're actually listening to an old Scottish folk ballad, but it's really a contemporary composition by Trashcan Sinatras guitarist John Douglas. So classic is the sound that John's wife Eddi Reader included it in her album "Eddi Reader Sings The Songs Of Robert Burns", even though it wasn't written by Burns. She also sang it in front of Queen Elizabeth II and the Scottish Parliament during the grand opening of the newly constructed Scottish Parliament Building in 2004.
