  • Jason McGerr's Picks:'s Celebrity Playlist
    • 1. "New Grass" by Talk Talk: "I would not be making music if this song did not exist."
    • 3. "Something Bigger, Something Brighter" by Pretty Girls Make Graves: "I’ve always been a fan of PGMG, but touring with them really killed me and seeing this song every night was a huge inspiration."
    • 4. "You Said Something" by PJ Harvey: "I've followed PJ since her first record, Dry. This song goes well with the rain in Manhattan."
    • 6. "Inertiatic ESP" by The Mars Volta: "My guilty prog pleasure dates way back, so the Mars Volta make me happy."
    • 7. "Parasite" by Nick Drake: "Nick Drake’s solitary and brief career intrigue me as much as his writing and this song seems to paint the perfect picture of the person that once was isolated and confused. A hauntingly beautiful song."
    • 12. "Pacific 231" by Burning Airlines: "This band should have been huge."
    • 13. "Mutual Slump" by DJ Shadow: "A DJ who can actually write songs and is capable of working magic on the production side as well. Stands the test of time, too."
    • 14. "Look At Miss Ohio" by Gillian Welch: "I saw film footage of this song, recorded in a studio in Nashville. It was intoxicating. Every word that comes out of her mouth has committed delivery that goes straight from one heart to another."
    • 15. "Falling Man" by Blonde Redhead: "I’ve loved this band's progression as songwriters and their dedication to making music feel really good. Once more, I’ve totally fallen for the rhythm section of this tune."
    • 16. "Someone's In the Wolf" by Queens of the Stone Age: "Epic, epic rock song by a real rock band staying the course of rock music."

  • Chris Walla's Picks:'s Celebrity Playlist
    • 1. "Spelunking" by Laura Veirs: "I've wondered if the Black Hills in Laura's song are in South Dakota or if they're just figurative. Like, does it take a real experience in a real place to write and sing a song this thick and real? Maybe I need to travel more."
    • 2. "It's Gonna Take an Airplane" by Destroyer: "Lola is a quarterly Canadian artist / art fan glossy whose newsstand appeal lacks very much consistency from issue to issue. That is to say, artful and consistently interesting, much like Dan Bejar's band called Destroyer. I wonder if there were satin sheets on the bed."
    • 3. "Nonsense" by Komeda: "'Nonsense' is a huge radio smash, or at least the perfect movie trailer soundtrack. Who screwed up? Why do you still have a job? To the wolves with you!!"
    • 4. "False Alarm" by Sloan: "Recently I made a list of phrases that sound nice when sung together in harmony, and 'it's been so long' was on that list. Sloan are better at it than most."
    • 5. "Phone Sex" by Superchunk: "'Keep your nose down, and the ice off your wings' was not on the aforementioned list. Can you imagine someone singing this song to you? I can. I was in a slump when I got the album, and this song broke my heart."
    • 10. "Gyroscope" by The Dismemberment Plan: "The last six seconds of 'Gyroscope' are, assuming you've given yourself to the story and know how to lose yourself completely in a record, as good as rock and roll can get."
    • 11. "Selfless, Cold and Composed" by Ben Folds Five: "This record caught me when it came out and it still hasn't let go. How many albums have a song for every kind of joy and every kind of confusion? Not that many. And none that have a poise that would make Brubeck grin from ear to ear."
    • 12. "Selfless, Cold and Composed" by Ben Folds Five: "This record caught me when it came out and it still hasn't let go. How many albums have a song for every kind of joy and every kind of confusion? Not that many. And none that have a poise that would make Brubeck grin from ear to ear."
    • 13. "God and Country" by The Thermals: "It's your flag too, you know."
    • 15. "Dear Someone" by Gillian Welch: "Time (The Revelator) is a complicated record. It's elemental and linear and boiled down on the surface, but for every word that Gillian and her partner David Rawlings sing I hear a thousand more: Stories in stories, lines between lines; photos, postcards and handwritten asides. It's like meeting a person, like seeing a face, this album. No one comes even close."
    • 16. "Secret Someones" by Laura Veirs: "'Float' might be my favorite word for describing the trajectory or quality of a piece of music, and it means, to me, that something cinematic is happening. Here's one of those."
    • 19. "Cells" by Teenage Fanclub: "One glass of water for every drink."

  • Ben Gibbard's Picks:'s Celebrity Playlist
    • 1. "Strange Powers" by The Magnetic Fields: "Stephin Merritt may hate our band name, but I love his music just the same. This is my favorite song of his."
    • 2. "Faking the Books" by Lali Puna: "Markus and Valerie of Lali Puna can do no wrong in my book. The first time I heard this song, I listened to it on repeat for almost an hour."
    • 3. "A Happy Medium" by Malcolm Middleton: "This song has possibly the most beautifully depressing hook ever. I also wish I’d written that guitar line."
    • 4. "On Peak Hill" by Stars: "Stars are an amazing band that we’re touring with this fall. I want them to play this song when we do (hint, hint)."
    • 5. "Bitter Things" by Christian Kleine: "This is a perfect song for long drives through the middle of nowhere. A daydream soundtrack, if you will."
    • 6. "You Must Build a Fire" by Crooked Fingers: "I had the honor to play with Eric Bachmann for a couple solo benefit shows earlier this year and this tune destroyed me every time he played it."
    • 8. "Steak" by Patton Oswalt: "I've never eaten at a Black Angus, but this kinda makes me want to."
    • 9. "Autograph" by The Movies: "Someone should do a performance art piece to this song."
    • 10. "Alcoholiday" by Teenage Fanclub: "Teenage Fanclub is my favorite band of all time. Picking just one song was very difficult."
    • 11. "With A Girl Like You" by The Troggs: "This is that song that comes on in a bar and you end up spending the next 15 minutes trying to figure out who it is. As I determined by that exact method a couple years ago, it’s The Troggs."

    • 1. "Will You Smile Again for Me" by ...And You Will Know Us By the Trail of Dead: "he start of this song feels like you just woke up and found yourself in a boxing ring in the fight of your life. Kind of takes your breath away."
    • 2. "All You Need Is Hate" by The Delgados: "A song that became the soundtrack for the news I see everyday and helps me keep a sense of humor despite the tragedy of it all."
    • 3. "One More Night" by Stars: "Evan, the bass player, deserves an award for this bass line. The rest of the band deserves shiny medals. I cannot wait to tour with this band."
    • 4. "I Turn My Camera On" by Spoon: "Spoon have been making me feel like a star in my own personal action movie for years. This song just makes the world drop into slow motion and I swear I could dodge a bullet."
    • 5. "Futureworld" by Trans Am: "Drums. and drums. and drums. I am not a drummer, but you should see me beat the hell out of the steering wheel and the dashboard in my car to this song."
    • 7. "Rid of Me" by PJ Harvey: "PJ Harvey will eat all of us for dinner. You turn this song up to hear all the little things and then your stereo explodes."
    • 8. "Fortress" by Pinback: "Any band that can talk about Bendis, Sienkiewicz, Morrison, Moore, McKean, and Miller is ace in my book. Oh, and it is totally unfair to choose one song because this entire album is great."
    • 9. "Midnight In a Perfect World" by DJ Shadow: "An album that still sounds brand new despite being almost 10 years old. Just put this on and go for a drive, you’ll see."
    • 11. "Staring at the Sun" by TV On the Radio: "Conviction in a song. The thing about TV On The Radio to me is that they BELIEVE in what they are singing about. So many people just sing words."
    • 12. "Peek-A-Boo (Single)" by Siouxsie and the Banshees: "I have been saying this for years: Why hasn’t this song been remade yet? If Beyonce got a hold of this, it would be a worldwide smash. But no matter who gets it, Siouxsie got it first and got it right."
    • 13. "I Get Wet" by Andrew W.K.: "I nominate Andrew. For everything."
    • 14. "Glass Danse" by The Faint: "You know how in that movie Awakenings with Robert De Niro, there is that moment when the doctors find out that music can help awaken the patients who are catatonic? Well, I am pretty sure that this song would work really well too. For me at least."
    • 15. "New Grass" by Talk Talk: "Laughing Stock is the best album ever made. If I could only have one record for the rest of my life this would undoubtedly be it."

Ben's songwriting is perfection to me, so I knew his own taste in music had to be impeccable. I was not dissapointed; bought it immediately. Ben, I saw DCFC this past summer in Pittsburgh and it was the best concert I've ever been to. Please come back soon!
