A local San Diego radio station occasionally hosts an event on the weekends where listeners schlubs get to own the airwaves for an hour. It's called Coup d'Etat. All you have to do is be an "insider" (ie, give 'em your email address and demo info), submit 10 songs, and pray you get picked. For the first time I will attempt to earn this righteous honor. And I need some input. Below is a list of songs I am considering at this point. Please provide feedback as appropriate. I know there are more than 10 songs. Don't provide *that* feedback. Just help me compile an non-un-pickable list.1. Cake – Mr. Mastodon Farm / Ruby Sees All
2. Poster Children – If You See Kay / New Boyfriend / Where We Live
3. The Box Social – Brontosaurus Blues / Pay Attention / Ginger Ale
4. The Muslims – Bright Side
5. Keller Williams – In A Big Country
6. Big Audio Dynamite – The Globe
7. We Are The Fury – Hey Love
8. Times New Viking – Love Your Daughters / Not High
9. Smashing Pumpkins – I Am One
10. Direct Hit! - Buy Me A Drink
11. Bruce Bocce – Friday Night / Green
12. Sebadoh – Ride The Darker Wave / Black Haired Gurl
13. Kings Of Leon – Joe's Head
14. Flame Shark - Midnight On Pearl Beach / The Salton Sea
15. Dramarama - Late Night Phone Call / Some Crazy Dame / No Regrets
16. Blind Melon - Soup / Tones Of Home / Three Is A Magic Number / 2x4
Perhaps I should go with the midwest band theme. 9 of the 16 bands are midwest-based and a tenth could be argued (Blind Melon). Though the 10th spot should be reserved for a San Diego band (The Muslims). Whatcha think?
Any input used in forming of this list will earn a shout-out on the broadcast as the schlub dj gets to ramble a bit before each song.

I decided to go with a Great Lakes theme. All ten bands have direct ties to a Great Lakes state: Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, or Wisconsin. Yeah, I know there are other states that touch a Great Lake but those states smell. Alternatively, think of this as my home-to-college drive list. Then only those four states come into the picture.
Here's an email from the station that practically guarantees my status of the next dj:
