play list - 02/12/2009

i didn't realize that today was lincoln's AND darwin's birthday until "blind guy" called in to let me know. so i learned that, and also i was playing some canadian artists (feist and lhasa and fusion body) and didn't realize that chromeo was canadian until i saw on the feist cd that chromeo remixed one of her tracks, then looked it up and they are from montreal. so i learned a lot today. i played the chromeo remix and so i got in a total of 4 canadian artists. also some ska and reggae and some funk and disco.

for disco, i didn't play this particular song from saturday night fever, but maybe i should have. this is maybe the best movie dance scene ever?!?!?
