"My 3 Songs" for Monday

Posted at 2:33 PM on October 27, 2008 by Steve Seel (1 Comments)

Wow, that was a weekend of truly "mixed precipitation," as they say. I certianly hope you got to enjoy some of it, despite that nas-tay wind yesterday.

Barbara Jarvis of St. Paul has a recreational set today: "I keep coming back to these songs while riding my Schwinn cruiser, listening to my iPod," she says. "They just gel together so well."

1) Air, "Mer Du Japon"
2) The Owls, "All Those In Favor"
3) The Decemberists, "Red Right Ankle"

Thanks Barbara!
