A brief list of songs about recorded media

Spoon - "Advance Cassette"
Pearl Jam - "Spin the Black Circle"
The Clash - "Hitsville UK"
The Features - "Blow It Out"
Joe Strummer - "Global A Go-Go", "Techno D-Day"
Nada Surf - "Blonde on Blonde"
Kanye West - "Crack Music"
Manic Street Preachers - "Motown Junk"
Paul Simon - "Kodachrome" (If photographs count, then add Weezer's "Photograph" and Ryan Adams's "Burning Photographs". If they don't count, disregard this entry entirely.)
The Streets - "Let's Push Things Forward" (possibly the only song in the list which is actually about itself)
Travis - "Slide Show" (gets in for being clever)
Warren Zevon - "Play It All Night Long"
Wilco - "The Late Greats"

I'm almost certain I had one more, but I can't think of it.

(I remembered it. Semisonic - "Singing in my Sleep")
