   Notes: Extra-sleazy 1998 revival of the classic Kander and Ebb anti-fascist musical (can this thing stop being so relevant, already?!)

   Notes: I saw Tori perform this song live at the Richmond Landmark Theater that year. (NOTE: My 1998-themed shows have had several songs from the soundtrack of this particular film adaptation of the Dickens' classic. Which, if you think about it, is an iconic portrayal of limerence addiction.)
3. "Life in Mono" - Mono - Great Expectations [Atlantic Records: 1998]
   Notes: Originally on Formica Blues (1997) and contains elements of the theme from the 1965 spy film "The Ipcress File".

   Notes: Catatonia was a Welsh band formed in 1992.

12. "Angry Angel" - Imogen Heap - I Megaphone [Almo Sounds: 1998]

    Notes: Fisher was singer/songwriter Kathy Fisher and composer/producer Ron Wasserman.
