We Used To Dream!
Now all we do is worry about dying!!!!!
The weekend is here and we have some parties for ya. First off, tonight, we have a Winnie party. Myself and Christian Flores are at Library Square playing all our favorite songs from the 90’s at the SHOW ME LOVE night. Shout for list.
Two big parties at Funky Winkerbean’s. Tonight we have the first night of Mutant Disco being done by the people who did the Weirdness parties at the Biltmore. Expect lots of rad-italo with a splash of cheesy 80’s and maybe even a Mr Vain or two.
Saturday at Funky’s, Winnie Cooper presents, Garland + Yarn at our NO MORE STRANGERS night, which is always a good time. But really, how can you go wrong with $1.75 beers? Hope to see you there.
aaaaand some tunes.
Vancouver’s Piper Davis
Dj Neighbor & Piper Davis – Rhinestone Cowgirl

Canada’s k-os is keeping hip hop alive. He has an excellent new album out called, “Yes”. I give it 4 out of 5 Winnies. Look out for our upcoming Winnie-TV segment with k-os!!
k-os – I Wish I Knew Natalie Portman
The Yeah Yeah Yeahs and Animal Collective have the two biggest albums of the year so far. Here’s AC take on YYYs hipster anthem.
Yeah Yeah Yeahs – Zero (Animal Collective remix)
I’m a sucker for a good cover
Magic Arm – Daft Punk Is Playing In My House (LCD Soundsystem Cover)
And for almost all things Beach Boys
The Beach Boys – God Only Knows (Aeroplane Bootleg Remix)
Pharrell’s behind these dudes. This has been out for a while. So far I’ve only found this one single to be good and the other stuff to be more disappointing.
Chester French – She Loves Everybody
Luvs me a TPC remix
Tokyo Police Club – Graves (Nightsweats Remix)
Luvs me a FR remix too
Fever Ray – If I Had A Heart (Fuck Buttons Remix)
Appaloosa – The Day We Fell In Love (Ted & Francis Remix)
Grizzly Bear – Two Weeks
Japandroids, “Post Nothing” has been on heavy rotation. Definitely another one of the best albums of the year.
Japandroids – Young Hearts Spark Fire
I don’t want to worry about dying,
I just want to worry about sunshine and giiiiiirls.
Monday. Ick.
(Sigh). The week starts anew.
Here’s your Monday song to get you through the blahs (and/or help you recover from the weekend’s debauchery).
Make sure you let the entire track play… much like your day, it’s a slow build up but you’ll be feeling better by the end.
2008 Top 20 Tracks… according to Flores
Well, the year is almost officially over and it couldn’t come soon enough… it’s time for my TOP TWENTY SONGS OF 2008!
You know I’ve never been the kind of person who could say with full conviction which movie is my favourite of all time or what the best restaurant is. See, I find it will almost always be dependent on how you feel at that particular point in time.
Of course, music is the same way. Even the most mundane routine in your day to day life can be perfectly captured by some song. And that song at that exact moment is the best song there could be… (Garden State would not have been as good a movie without that amazing soundtrack)
So anyways, it goes without saying then that I had some difficulty selecting my TOP TWENTY.
There are definitely songs on my list that have been fully rinsed in 2008. But hey what can I say? I ain’t no snob… I’m a fan of pop music just as much as I am a fan of the indie and sub-pop jams.
I won’t bore you with a commentary on each track.
Here are twenty 2008 tracks that have stood out to me… haters, get your hate on:
20. Metronomy – A Thing For Me (Mad Decent’s B-Live Miami Mix)
19. Matt & Kim – Good Ol’ Fashion Nightmare
18. Santogold – Say Aha (Tepr Remix)
17. The Kills – Cheap and Cheerful
16. Ratatat – Mirando (YACHT Remix)
14. Friend – Secret
13. Mike Jones ft Lil Wayne – I Done Did It
12. Feist – I Feel It All (Escort Remix)
11. Radiohead – Reckoner (Diplo Remix)
10. Kid Cudi – Day ‘N Nite (Crookers Remix)
9. Lykke Li – Little Bit (CSS Remix)
8. Lil Wayne – A Milli (Say-Wut Remix)
7. Ladyhawke – Paris Is Burning (Cut Copy Remix)
6. Treasure Fingers – Cross The Dancefloor (Chromeo Remix)
5. Kings Of Leon – Sex On Fire
4. Crystal Castles – Courtship Dating
3. Friendly Fires ft Au Revoir Simone – Paris (Aeroplane Remix)
