blog post Don Cherry shares his shuffle playlist featuring Deadmau5

After listening to Don Cherry’s 1992 single “Rock ’em Sock ’em Techno,” you may find yourself wondering, as we did: what’s on Grapes’s iPod? We asked the co-host of Hockey Night in Canada’s Coach’s Corner to set his mp3 player to “random” and tell us which five tracks came up first.

Cherry’s playlist reveals an affinity for Sinatra, 1983 Lincolns and musicals. Judging by his love of Deadmau5, he’s also still in touch with his techno/electronic roots.

1.“The Way You Look Tonight”         
Frank Sinatra 
(from the 1936 film Swing Time).
“Fred Astaire reminds me of class personified, with Ginger Rogers.”

2.“September Song”    
Walter Huston
“A very romantic song, chokes me up when I listen to it.”

3.“In the Still of the Night”     
Frank Sinatra
“I like to listen to this song when I'm driving in my 1983 white Lincoln -- with white leather interior and plush red dash/carpet, with a boom box in the back.”’

4.“Sharp Dressed Man”    
ZZ Top
“I think this one speaks for itself.”

5.“Ghost N Stuff”    
Deadmau5
“I like all of Deadmau5’s music, but only play it is in my black 1983 Lincoln –  gets me in a pumped-up mood.”
