This list reflects what I listened to the most...but to be entirely honest two cover-heavy releases: The Bird & The Bee's "Interpreting the Masters Volume 1: A Tribute to Daryl Hall and John Oates" & Dean & Britta's "13 Most Beautiful: Songs for Andy Warhol's Screen Tests" were probably the highest playing on my iPod! Check out both - I think you'll especially enjoy working/coding to Dean & Britta. @Raul - Oh hells yes. Had MANY houseguests for extended periods of time - karmic retribution for all the couches I've surfed before. Hope to have you back soon! @Douglas - Thanks for the tip! I will check out that album ASAP :) @Michael – Yeah, I found the Arcade Fire, National & BSS releases this year to leave me ‘meh.’ This list reflects what I listened to the most…but to be entirely honest two cover-heavy releases: The Bird & The Bee’s “Interpreting the Masters Volume 1: A Tribute to Daryl Hall and John Oates” & Dean & Britta’s “13 Most Beautiful: Songs for Andy Warhol’s Screen Tests” were probably the highest playing on my iPod!

Agree re The National. What about Lower Dens - Twin-Hand Movement? Only one I can think of that’s not here is Toro y Moi’s Causers of This. Agree re The National.

Point being virtually all francophones outside QC speak English too. Stone age that, Pinko-bot. Speaking of stone age, holy crap: did you just say Pepsis? Are you new to Canada? People have lost their jobs over less, some of them still take offense to that, see reply to my comment here: http://blog.hunch.com/?p=29714#comment-103637127 Stats Can took the unusual step last year of adding an asterisk to its French language numbers because they were clearly manipulated by a chain email telling francophones to declare they only speak French, thereby artificially increasing demand for French services outside Quebec.

Even if you were off by 30,000, your logic was pure gold. And 47,200 is still a sizeable audience.

There's a real wealth of information available to ad-buyers & often this valuable information is only accessible by agencies running ads as part of a broader campaign. Hope to grab a coffee w/ you soon & thanks again for putting on such a consistently great event series :) Thanks so much Colin, I’d love to chat w/ you about getting in touch w/ your contacts at FB since many of our gov’t staffers are firewalled out of the site &/or unable to place/access ad data (i.e. user data) because of procurement challenges.

I believe this is based on a combination of the user's geo-ip/current location settings and their Facebook interface language preference. The Facebook number is currently 47,200 according to their ad targeting algorithm.
