"My 3 Songs" for Wednesday

Posted at 2:24 PM on November 28, 2007 by Steve Seel

A birthday set today, from Lindsay K. of St. Paul, who's celebrating her quarter century (I never understood why people celebrate their quarter century -- dosn't that make you feel older than you might otherwise? -- but she brought it up, so don't look at me).

1) Bon Iver, "Emma"
2) The Glad Version, "Ambulence"
3) Coach Said Not To, "Bus Stop Birthday"

Of the Bon Iver, she says, "I can't get enough of this disc right now;" Lindsey's having The Glad Version at her b-day party at the Nomad tomorrow night, and she finished with "an obligatory birthday song" from Coach Said Not To.
