"My 3 Songs" for Tuesday

Posted at 2:05 PM on March 18, 2008 by Steve Seel

Peter Giles of St. Paul writes today, "These were my favorite performances from The Current's SXSW broadcast." He adds, "Darondo = new favorite!"

1) Darondo, "Legs (Part 1)"
2) The Heavy, "That Kind of Man"
3) Blitzen Trapper, "Wild Mountain Nation"

Yeah Peter, it was quite a broadcast this year. We're so glad you dug it!

It was something to welcome the whole crew back from Austin yesterday and feel the vibe just coming off of them -- everyone was just so invigorated. I don't know if she's gotten props anywhere else, aside from at the end of the broadcasts themselves, but a salute really needs to go out to our Music Director Melanie Walker, who's responsible for putting together the most incredible lineup of guests we've ever had down there. The mix of old and new, young versus verteran, the balance of genres and styles and sensibilities was astounding and thrilling. It was a shining moment for the station, I think.

So, if you want to relive any of it, or if you missed anything, it's all right here.
