Oh, the Yann Tiersen is excellent, and it’s on the Amelie soundtrack which is lovely.
Pandora just played Defaal Lu Wor by Wasis Diop, and I’m loving it:

Big, big fan of Cigarettes and Chocolate Milk. It’s the only Rufus song I know besides his version of “Hallelujah” from Shrek. (I’m so cosmopolitan.)

I think I might have happened upon something that you might like to add to your Life List! Or at least something that looks pretty cool if you haven’t done it already.

Alligator by Tegan and Sara… anything by them would be fun to add to your list 🙂 I live at the N/W corner of the US, so we get a lot of Canadian stations here 🙂
