"My 3 Songs" for Tuesday

Posted at 1:43 PM on January 22, 2008 by Steve Seel

Lauren Jacobson of Gilbert, AZ writes, "I picked these three songs for all the people listening who are in their offices at work and wanna get up and dance ... or at least bob their heads and tap their feet. I also picked the Shins because I got to see them last week here in Phoenix for the second time and they are awesome live."

1) Hot Hot Heat, "Bandages"
2) The Kooks, "Naive"
3) The Shins, "Kissing The Lipless"
