Tommy Scanlan from Woodbury picked today's My 3 Songs set because...

"I have been listening for some time now, and I love what the station has done for local music. But, every now and then, I go back to where it started. As a kid, I used to try and make my mom change the channel, but now I can't get enough of it. The Twin Cities is a mecca for many genres of music, and I think that anyone who hears these tracks would agree. If I could I would pick more. The Gear Daddies and The Replacements are amongst my favorite bands. Even the Zamboni song would be great."

Husker Du - "Don't Want To Know If You Are Lonely"
The Replacements - "Alex Chilton"
Gear Daddies - "Color Of Her Eyes"
