Arcade Fire "Keep The Car Running"...My favorite song today...

It's my job to basically dig around for the best new music for us to play and feature here at The Current. Doesn't usually feel like work if you catch my drift.... We get sent so much new music and find so many unknown musical jewels out there it seems everyday I've got a new favorite song. Today it's Arcade Fire's "Keep The Car Running" from their forth coming album Neon Bible. That song fills me with an unknown desire to just immediately get up from my desk, leave the building and sprint down the street for absolutely no reason what so ever. As absurd as that sounds, what's your favorite song you've discovered today from listening to The Current?

Long Winters are coming to town! Admittedly, I am a fan of these guys and was really looking forward to a date in the Twin Cities they were to play last year. Well, you know how these things sometimes happen.. they didn't come to town after all. So, I am thrilled to share the new tour date, March 21st at 400 Bar along with with Bound Stems and Stars of Track & Field!

This seems like the perfect time to do a festival update... as three or four have finally posted line-ups!
All Tomorrow's Parties (the dirty 3, vs the fans)
Benicassim
Bonnaroo
Again, if you're planning on attending ANY festival, let me know. I'll get a handful of The Current stickers in your hot little hands to pass out at the fest. More info here.

Several people have asked my choice for best love song/breakup song of all time. My sweetie and I list our song as "There Is No If" from The Cure. As for break-up tune, I'll go with Throwing Stones from Paula Cole. Mark Wheat and Danny Siegleman are really the experts. I can't wait to hear the tunes tonight! In the meantime, Wanna share your pick for either/both categories?
