These are songs from records that I found my my parent's collection in my younger years- I remember the summer I found these songs and I just wanted to hear them again."

Dave Gangler picked today's My 3 Songs set because...
"I started finally listening to The Current about a year ago (I'd been telling myself I should for a long time). I've basically been stuck in the 1980's musically until I started listening to The Current. I hadn't enjoyed new music for such a long time. But now I love it!
So these are my favorite three songs I've heard since I started listening to The Current. (Which is kind of bull, really, because there are lots of songs that I love that I've heard on The Current, but I had to pick 3. These are three that always make me feel super happy and make me groove. So I guess it's my "favorite 3 songs from The Current that make me super happy and groovy" set.)."
Kings Of Leon - "Manhattan"
MGMT - "Time To Pretend"
Michael Franti And Spearhead - "Everybody Ona Move"

"For the first time in my life I've met someone I can say is my best friend. We went to school together and knew of each other and finally met a couple years later after I won $5grand off of a crossword scratch off. People say friends tend to leave once the moneys gone, and she's still with me after watching me blow it all in two weeks. We discovered we were the only ones either one of us knew that loved all the same music[including the love of the current]. I was homeless when we met, and she risked her living situation by having me stay with her for 5 weeks. Thankfully I found a place out in Becker because she helped me keep my head up. Thing is. I'm in love with her, and these are three out of the many songs that make me think of her. So If you could help me let 'Trick' know that 'Flip' loves her that would be amazing.. "

The Band of Horses tune might not be the most obvious song, but I think it really seems to fit for a parent having a child grow up... things change, the child moves on, etc., but through it all, no one will ever love their child more than the parent does.

" These songs are dedicated to the memory of Gordon "Gungi" Patterson. He was a sound engineer and road manager since the 1970s and he recently passed away after a 3-year battle with cancer. Standing at 6'11", the Scotsman was easy to spot mixing the sound at shows all over the world for a diverse group of acts over the course of his career, from Judas Preist to Damien Rice. The three songs chosen are from three bands he's been on the road with, showcasing the eclectic range of acts he helped look good and sound good for thousands of fans. And let his passing remind us of the fact that there are far too many unsung hereos in the music industry, aka, be nice to roadies!"

"This may make the requests a bit cheesy, but I'm leaving for Montreal in a week for college and am beginning to feel the pangs of leaving my home of 18 years. "Going to a Town" has its obvious connection to leaving my home country, with Tunnels having a bit more subtle Montreal connection. Both Rufus and Win Butler of Arcade Fire are American ex-Pats who have musically flourished in Montreal (and attended McGill University, the school I'm going to) with the Arcade Fire having the disctinction of being one of (though certainly not the only) thing attracting me to this fantastic city.
However excited I may be, though, there's the obvious apprehension of leaving the friends (and naive youthful lovers) that have done so much to shape my identity. Every New Year's my small, close group gets together and picks a song to be the very first musical experience of the year. "All My Friends" was the consensus this year, and it still remains the most apt representation of what we're all emotionally going through, though providing a bit of a silver lining on my three songs.
If you choose to play this despite all the teen angst (though artfully done teen angst, if you'll indulge me) I thank you sincerely. The Current has played an immeasurably large part in my personal development, and for that I owe a huge debt to the Current, all of the hosts, and the Twin Cities themselves. Thank you.
Au revoir!

"I will MISS Minnesota!
After 3 years of attending school in Minneapolis, I'm moving to the East Coast on August 10. I've LOVED (LOVED!) the Current and will continue to stream it in DC and represent some MN love.
Hold Steady, of course, has solid MN connections and their Live Current version of "Stuck Between Stations" does the BEST Minneapolis shout-outs.
Solid Gold is my current FAVE Minneapolis band that I was introduced to via the Current, and have seen (stalked) several times in concert, including Rock the Garden.
The Kills don't have an obvious MN connection, but I was introduced to them via the Current (and a proud native son), and they had the BEST live show that I've seen in a long time.
Thanks, Current. I will miss MN! (Although a little less in Jan/Feb)."

It may be the "weekend" for some people, but since it's still technically a weekday, we've still got a fresh Song of the Day and a My Three Songs set.
Today's Song of the Day is Greycoats' "Goodbye, Sweet Youth, Goodbye". I guess this is appropriate because it's my dog's birthday today. He turns 3 (his golden birthday!) so in dog years, he's of legal drinking age now.
Our My Three Songs set came to us from Jackie, who recently got engaged. Her relationship has been marked with a 'cloud' motif; she suggested the first and third tracks, and let us fill in the rest.
Tori Amos - "Bouncing Off Clouds"
The Temptations - "Cloud Nine"
Rilo Kiley - "Silver Lining"
Thanks, Jackie, and thanks to everyone else who suggested a M3S set today. Have a happy and safe Independence Day weekend!

" After hearing about the death of Michael Jackson, I immediately spent time watching a ton of his old videos. Which got me thinking about when MTV actually showed music videos. And how awesome it was! Reflecting upon the time of Music Television, I remembered the "Buzz Bin" which featured specific songs deemed "Buzz Clips" that were notable songs/videos from up and coming bands, a lot of which are still around today and grew to great success (For example: Radiohead, The Flaming Lips, Bjork). These three buzz clips I remember I really enjoyed
seeing on MTV in the early to mid 90's."

Erik Warg from Minneapolis picked today's My 3 Songs set because...
" These three songs come from albums that are constantly in my playlist. I cant remember a week where I have not listened to these three albums. The Silversun Pickups have a certain sound that seems to surround and takes ahold of me. I always seem to catch a new subtle bass line, guitar rift, or drum beat each time I listen. The first time I heard "Well Thought Out Twinkles" with its wonderful tempo, pacing, and its wonderful melding of sound, I became hooked on this band. The Kooks album is by far one of my favorite driving albums. It has a great upbeat, fun, sound that is impossible not to rock out to. This album is so much fun I tend to speed while listening to it. Finally, "How We Operate" by Gomez is a fantastic album. I can never get enough of it, and if you dont have it, go and pick it up, you will thank me. Even though my favorite song on that ablbum changes, I always get excited when "Cry on Demand" comes on. It showcases the musical talents of each of the band members, and the instrumental portion of the song is one of my favorites. I cannot count how many times I have sat in my driveway listening to this song. "
Silversun Pickups - "Well Thought Out Twinkles"
The Kooks - "You Don't Love Me"
