He drives a mini *and* listens to the new pornographers, someone has good taste 
Being a Canadian, it's pretty cool to see some people south of the border listening to our bands! A few other awesome canadian bands you might want to check out if you haven't already are Metric, Wolf Parade and Arcade Fire and Broken Social Scene (among others i'm forgetting at the moment).
Also, the lead singer from the new pornographers (A.C. Newman) has a great solo album called Slow Wonder that you might want to check out.
I guess that at least partially answers the question as to what's playing in my Mini as well

Last weekend we had the second annual running of the Italian Job Rally where we were each given a CD with sounds to match the shooting sites we were exploring. Nothing like cruising the upper ridge of Mulholland Drive with Randy Newman's I Love LA on the player.. brings it all to life.. especially on a really NICE clear day like we had..

I never was a big Iron Butterfly fan, but I did see Steppenwolf at the Fillmore East, back around 68 B.C.

Right now, I have a CD full of covers.
Yes, I mean covers.. including such wonderousness as Johnny Cash singing "Personal Jesus". The Cure and their cover of "Purple Haze" which is truly psychedelic and KMFDM's iconic cover of "Sunday Bloody Sunday".
It is awesome.

I'll admit that my ipod is mostly "oldies" from the 60's and 70's, but lately I've been having fun with the new itunes Genius feature.
If you haven't downloaded the update, go for it. Basically, you select a song from your music and hit the Genius button and it searches for other songs in your library to create a playlist. It's been pulling up songs that I haven't listened to in forever and the transitions from song to song are great and never out of character and jarring.
