"My 3 Songs" for Monday

Posted at 4:06 PM on July 28, 2008 by Steve Seel (2 Comments)

Tracie Hodgdon wrote in today, "These songs are just a reflection of how varied my life is. From a random childhood fave I found while looking for something else ("Let's Groove"), to my new favorite ("The Bones of You") to (my) favorite celebrity crush ("Where Is My Mind").

1) Earth, Wind & Fire, "Let's Groove"
2) Elbow, "The Bones of You"
3) The Pixies, "Where Is My Mind"

The only thing that Tracie doesn't specify is who her celebrity crush was; Frank Black? Brad Pitt? Edward Norton? It could also be that our M3S entry form cut off the end of her submission, in which case I apologize Tracie! Regardless, thanks for your tunes.

For everybody else, you've got just a few days left to get in on our M3S Erik's Bike Shop giveaway, here.
