Hello cube® enthusiasts!

Last year we asked people to give us a playlist of their favourite, top 10 driving songs. I loved it, it turned me onto some wicked music I hadn't had the chance to get into yet. There was an eclectic mix, to say the least.
As a general wondering, what kind of music do you bop your head to when you roll in your cube®? It's definitely a car that lends itself to a fun ride and it's a car for artsy people and artsy people tend to have great taste in tunes. Are you someone that gets caught air drumming at a stoplight? Or perhaps you're the person I can hear coming up my street from 3 blocks away. I think it's L'il Wayne but I'm really not sure. Actually I sort of hope that's not a cube® driver ;)

Anyway, let us know what's up with your musical taste. We like you and want to know everything about you. (In a not creepy way).

Be good,

Jon

So earlier this summer I was elated to discover (that was an accidental rhyme, but I'm just going to roll with it) that I had been selected in the Peak Performance Project - an annual competition where 20 of British Columbia's top artists/bands compete for the grand prize of $100,500.00. All 20 of us are currently going through 5 months of rigorous training, challenges, a week-long music bootcamp and mentoring by some of the biggest names in the music biz. It's an incredible project put on by Music BC and  100.5 The Peak - quite possibly one of Canada's hippest and most cutting edge radio stations, playing everything from Mumford and Sons and Arcade Fire to Jack Johnson and now...yours truly.

Happy one year anniversary CUBE!  I just arrived in Victoria, BC after 6000km of driving from MONTREAL.  Lots of photos and stories to post SOON.  But firstly, I can not stop listening to this song.  I discovered it from Pitchfork's top 100 songs of the year.  So now....the new summer Cube Schedule: crank "Golden Phone" and bounce around while driving with the windows down.....I *heart* "Micahu and the Shapes".  Happy Birthday CUBE.

wow, this was hard....I was about to say the entire Album GRACELAND by Paul Simon, because that is in my books the quintessential car album.  but here is a random mix done fairly quickly:

1. Dan Deacon - Crystal Cat

2. Animal Collective - The Girls

3. Crystal Castles - Magic Spells  

El Guincho - Palmitos Park

4. The knife - HEARTBEATS 

5. GutStrings - Crawl into my heart

6. LCD Soundsystem - Yeah (crass Version)

 Here are my top TEN (10 ) HIT LIST..../DJ TT-POD

2. Nothing On You – B.o.B feat Bruno Mars
3. Not Lost – B.o.B

Lately I've been driving some early mornings to get to work. I love the 'Coffee Morning Mix" I made for the drive. The songs aren't that well known, but they are some nice gems.

Enjoy!

Found my new summer jam... yes i said summer jam... lol love this song... but love this video even more... looks like something that some of our cubies could have put together!
