"My 3 Songs" for Monday

Posted at 1:46 PM on October 1, 2007 by Steve Seel

"I am all about creativity and originality, and here are three of the most creative and original sounding artists out there today," writes Kaare Kvenild of Apple Valley. "Tom Waits is my favorite artist ever and has been doing it his way for a long time, but Mute Math and Pigeon John are just getting started. Hopefully those two won't be flying under the radar for much longer."

1) Pigeon John, "Do The Pigeon"
2) Mute Math, "Typical"
3) Tom Waits, "Hoist That Rag"

Perhaps it's about time for you to submit your set.
