Help choose the music for Flight of the Squawkatiel!

I've had a lot of fun discovering new music online and sharing it with you, but I would also like to hear what music you've been enjoying lately. I don't usually take requests during my show because I choose my playlists in advance, but you can help choose the music that gets played.

Please answer these two quick questions (both are optional).

Your input is appreciated, and will help make Flight of the Squawkatiel more enjoyable for all!

Soundcloud Artist of the Week: Danaga

Each week, I will be featuring an unsigned/independent artist that I discovered on Soundcloud. I will play a song from them during the new music hour at 8:30 on my show that week, and will write a bit more about them here. 

Danaga (real name: Daniel Aga) is an electronic music producer from Romania who incorporates hip hop, world music and various other genres into his productions for a very original sound. His latest album is am-n-aripi which he describes as "a collection of stories about the contemporary alienated urban hipster who tries to find his true self". You can stream and download a few of his songs below:
