- 1. "You Are a Runner and I Am My Father's Son" by Wolf Parade: "I just picked this song at random. The whole record is good. More great Montreal music from a bunch of Victoria, BC boys. Okay, enough English music."
- 2. "Panis et Circenses" by Os Mutantes: "Perhaps the catchiest of the songs I love in foreign languages. Brazil ruled the psychedelic world."
- 3. "Face Like Summer" by Gorky's Zygotic Mynci: "This song makes me want to cry. It is so simple and beautiful, despite the fact that it is sung in English."
- 4. "Mathilde" by Jacques Brel: "My main reason for wanting to learn French, and there are many, is that I would love to understand Brel in his native tongue. The Scott Walker covers are great, but . . ."
- 5. "Allah Wakbarr" by Ofo & The Black Company: "The whole Love's A Real Thing album is awesome. I didn't know there was such a thing as African psychedelic funk in the late sixties."
- 6. "Shaking Through" by R.E.M.: "My favorite song ever. Might as well be in another language. It's about shaking through, I'm guessing. Whatever message I gleaned from the lyrics helped my lonely teenage mind cope with s**t."
- 7. "Never Understand" by The Jesus and Mary Chain: "This song is pop music and rock 'n' roll music, all the first thirty years worth, boiled down to its purest essence. It made me understand what it must have been like to hear Elvis or The Beatles, way back in the day. It blew my sixteen year old mind."
