Now this is more like it.

Since last fall, Vancouver, BC finally got its own commercial AAA station. I didn't realize how awesome it was until I finally gave it a listen:

Boulevard of Broken Dreams -- Green Day
Robots -- Dave Mangan
Civil Twilight -- the Weakerthans
Funny the Way It Is -- Dave Matthews Band
When the Sun Goes Down -- Arctic Monkeys
The Lonely End of the Rink -- Tragically Hip
Say It Ain't So -- Weezer
1985 -- Golden Dogs
Scar Tissue -- Red Hot Chili Peppers
Don't Talk Down -- The Stills
Satellite Scar -- Modest Mouse
Cigarette -- Jeremy Eller
Beat on the Brat -- The Ramones
Hard Sun -- Eddie Vedder

The Arctic Monkeys, Weezer, Modest Mouse and the Ramones in one hour and no Norah Jones or Jason Mraz? Now that's my kind of AAA station. This set sounded even better than it looks on paper. Bonus: I heard them play Bruce Cockburn, which is a rarity these days. Does anyone know how it's doing in the ratings?
