- 1. "Pocket Calculator" by Kraftwerk: "I saw Kraftwerk live recently. For their encore, they didn't appear onstage. It was robots of them. What is better than that? Seriously, what?"
- 2. "====" by Oval: "This is so you can look cool if someone is looking through your iPod. If someone asks 'What is Oval?', you can answer: 'It's pronounced o-VAL. It's this German guy and he...oh forget it.' And then grab your iPod back and roll your eyes in disgust."
- 3. "A Shot In the Arm" by Wilco: "Jeff Tweedy is a very close personal friend of mine but I lost his e-mail address. So I am using iTunes to send him a personal message. If you are not him please don't read the following, it is highly private: 'Hey Jeff! What's up? Will you be using the house in Aspen this year? Not the white one with the NYC pizza oven, the other one. Let me know. Love, Fred'."
- 4. "Put Your Hand In My Hand" by Lungfish: "A really good, intense band. I like their simplicity when it comes to songwriting."
- 6. "Bridges and Balloons" by Joanna Newsom: "One of my favorite albums ever. Even though it's just vocals and harp, it's very percussive. Amazing lyrics too. But I wouldn't work out to this if I ever started working out."
- 8. "My Ever Changing Moods (12" Version)" by The Style Council: "I'm a huge fan of all of Paul Weller's work. This is such an immediately optimistic song. It makes me want to ride a Vespa."
- 9. "Rollercoaster" by Sleater-Kinney: "I would put Sleater-Kinney's whole catalogue on this list if I could. What an incredible band. This song is on their latest and everything about it is great."
