Peter Slapnicher of Mpls writes, "What up Steve? I'm a starving entrepreneur (seven years) who is about to get his break. Music has been my lifeblood throughout the tough times ... it would mean the world to me if you could play My Three Songs as I leave this chapter in the dust."

2) The Apples In Stereo, "Radiation"
3) Deerhunter, "Strange Lights"

Thanks for a great set Peter, and good luck with wherever the road takes you.
