3am Mixtapes: Episode One Hundred: Favourite Songs

in
Each week on the 3am Mixtapes podcast, I will share with you the Top Six Songs of a certain subject. The topics can be as general as best BC bands. Some might be a little more... specific. Top Six Bands who have been in the Peak Performance Project. 

I'm not really one to celebrate milestones just because they're at round numbers, but I had this idea floating around for a while and figured this was as good a time as any for my Top Six Songs!
These are just six of my favourite songs. Not my Six Favourites Of All Time Ever (I don't think I could do that list), but just six that have remained favourites for a while.

Check these out:

"The Bleeding Heart Show" by The New Pornographers
"This Modern Love" by Bloc Party
"Hoppípolla" by Sigur Rós
"Prime Time Deliverance" by Matthew Good Band
"Into My Arms" by Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds
"It's All Gonna Break" by Broken Social Scene
