Here’s my lists from 2006, 2008 and 2009 if you’re interested. You can see what else I’m currently listening to on Last.fm.

1. Algorithmically and trigonometrically calculated to the hypotenuse by creating a smart playlist in iTunes with these rules and looking at the “Plays” column in iTunes.
2. Yes, that Hanson. The music video for said song features an homage to the Blues Brothers and a cameo by Weird Al Yankovic!
3. Found this song via the absurdly dark comedy “World’s Greatest Dad” with Robin Williams.
4. Discovered after watching the totally NSFW but absurd (in the vein of MGMT) music video.
