“Either Way” —Guster — “We played with Guster a year ago, and I heard this song for the first time. I’m such a sucker for hypnotic.”

“Arlington” —The Wailin’ Jennys — “I heard these chicks singing live on the radio one afternoon while driving to a show. Big fat harmonies and very mellow folky stuff.”

“Diary Of A Madman” —Ozzy Osbourne — “I had not heard this in a long time until one of my buddies pulled this out a couple months ago.”

“I Remember You” —Skid Row — “I went to see Hairbangers Ball play, and they played this tune. Tyler Steven nailed this.”

“Check On It” — Beyoncé — “We went out to a party in Carbondale, and on the way Aaron (our drummer) was singing this song; well, he was trying to sing it. I was singing it all day the next day and had to download it.”

“Fix You” —Coldplay — “This tune just rocks. It’s such a finesse tune from such a finesse band. There are so many bands that could never pull off something like this. You actually have to be good to play this.”
