"My 3 Songs" for Friday

Posted at 3:45 PM on November 30, 2007 by Steve Seel

No "Y" chromosomes in the mix today (save for the submitter): Max Page of Cohaset MN writes, "I didn't really plan out a theme for these songs; I just like them a lot. After throwing them together, though, I realize that they are all by intriguing ladies of song. Good enough theme for me!"

1) Feist, "Brandy Alexander"
2) Yeah Yeah Yeahs, "Phenomena"
3) Bjork, "It's Oh So Quiet"

Max, you remind me of the tremendous charms of Feist's "The Reminder" -- I hadn't familiarized myself with this song to the degree of some of the others, but it's yet another winner. So why did this disc get dissed to the degree it did this year? I mean it wasn't totally slagged or anything, but a lot of folks were just disappointed that it wasn't as strong a follow up to "Let It Die" as they might have liked. I don't know. I think it's really, really strong.

Step right this way to submit your three song set. We play them every weekday at noon.
