Program Playlist

Josh Cain's picks:

Frank Black "Los Angeles" — "Growing up, my first tape I ever purchased was the Pixies' Surfer Rosa."

Superchunk "Precision Auto" — "I liked how it was catchy and insane sounding. … It's fun to listen to."

Pegboy "Strong Reaction" — "That song is cool. A bunch of bands I liked from Chicago got together and formed a new band. … I was in their video."

Arcwelder "Remember to Forget" — "It's like where this really garage, basement show band started playing pop music in that kind of setting. That really inspired me."

Poster Children "If You See Kay" — "As a teenager, I thought it was awesome and crazy and I just liked that they were hiding the fact that they were swearing in the song in such a fun way."

Justin Pierre's picks:

The Flaming Lips "The Abandoned Hospital Ship" — "When the album [Clouds Taste Metallic] came out, I ran out and bought it. … I brought it home and this was the first song I heard."

Guided by Voices "Motor Away" — "I think it is the greatest pop song that has ever been written. … I remember hearing that song on the radio and I had to go out and buy the album because of it."

Jawbox "Savory" — "The melodies are so good."

Pavement "Summer Babe (Winter Version)" — "I love everything Pavement has ever done, and here is another great song. To this day, I still don't know 95 percent of what Stephen Malkmus is singing. … He would ad lib his lyrics in the studio. It doesn't change how much I love it."

Sonic Youth "100%" — "It's mostly delicious feedback."
