Unfinished Melody Tall Dwarfs' collaboration "Over the Waves" edited to showcase Mangum's vocal melody.

Little Birds . Live. Pretty GREAT song. An unreleased post-Aeroplane song (and the ONLY post-aeroplane song in circulation!)

Ferris Wheel on Fire [One, Two]. Here are two live versions of this fantastic song. The quality isn't great, but it's decent. Thanks to spadam6 for 2.

Gardenhead/Leave Me Alone . Acoustic from XFM session.

Up and Over. AKA King of Carrot Flowers pt. 3, this is a great acoustic version played on XFM in London

Engine . The b-side to Holland, 1945. Excellent song, sometimes described as being a children's song. You can download it at Merge Record's site.

Untitled . Different than the untitled song on Aeroplane, this was on some obscure little record somewhere. It's an instrumental.

Bucket . very sad sounding song featuring the same chord progression as "glycerine" by bush.

Tuesday Moon (live) .

Glue . A cover of a great Gerbils song. Gerbils are the band of Scott Spillane, who plays horns in NMH and wrote The Fool.
