My Three Songs Friday

Posted at 12:07 PM on January 9, 2009 by Jill Riley (1 Comments)

Today's My Three Songs set comes from Timothy listening from New Haven, CT. He says "Putting together an album is hard work, and one of the most delicate tasks is determining track order. I picked these three songs because they function so well in each of their places on the album."

1.) The National "Fake Empire" Boxer
2.) The New Pornographers "Unguided" Challengers
3.) Cloud Cult "Love You All" Feel Good Ghosts, Tea-Partying Through Tornadoes
