My Sat Night Playlist & cN 146 w/JoCo
Am making a playlist to blast while making (heating) dinner, so thought I'd share 'er here. I must thank my big bro Jeff for hooking me up with a lot of these tunes; he started influencing my musical tastes when I was only 13 (by throwing Violent Femmes, Skinny Puppy, etc. in my Walkman, yes, Walkman!). Happy (Long) Weekend!
Paper Planes - M.I.A
California Stars - Billy Bragg & Wilco
Expectations - Belle & Sebastian
Where Is My Mind? - Pixies
Your Party - Ween
Flight Test - The Flaming Lips
Smiley Faces - Gnarls Barkley
Doin' Time - Sublime
No More Trouble (featuring Erykah Badu) - Bob Marley
Love Song - The Cure
Concerning The UFO Sighting - Sufjan Stevens
Ocean Man - Ween
Smile - Lily Allen
Hey - Pixies
FlyPaper - K-Os
For the latest tech news, check out this week's ep of commandN with musical superstar Jonathan Coulton (and the usual suspects).

I know and like most of these. We seem to have pretty similar musical tastes so I always check out the songs you mention that I'm not familiar with - and a lot of them have become big hits with me! Haha. So thanks for sharing. Cheers.

See this is why we would totally be friends if we ever met in person, Ambermac. Just a perfect list of songs. Love the Billy Bragg & Wilco stuff.

Nice Amber! I'm stuck in the 90's, mostly, myself when it comes to music. If you were here in the states, or had access to a VPN in the states, I'd share my Pandora station... It's very similar to this! -Adam

I couldn't find contact information but THANK YOU, AMBER! I've hated Calacanis from the beginning so kudos from a fellow Torontonian!
