Where do great songs come from? How do they go from words and melodies to something more? To find out, we gave three local bands two weeks to take one set of lyrics and put it to music.
89.3 The Current in Minneapolis and XPN in Philadelphia are exchanging local music on the air and online in an effort to cross-pollinate two of the best music scenes in America. Every Tuesday and Thursday in Minnesota, The Current will feature on air and in the "Song of the Day" podcast a local band selected by XPN. At the same time, XPN will be introducing listeners in Philadelphia to Minnesota musicians.

In-Studio Appearances
French, Italian, Mexican and American music are all parts of Cafe Accordion's repertoire, but their newest recording, "Germaine," takes the listener all over the world.
Signing with a large record label has always been a career goal for most performers, but Judith Owen says it doesn't necessarily guarantee success. After a huge management shake down at Capitol Records, Owen regained the ownership of some of her songs and re-recorded them to be released on her new CD, "Mopping Up Karma."
Self-described as "The Cure meets Sonic Youth," local indie rockers Aviette (pronounced Ah-vee-ette) are releasing their second album "The Way We Met."
News & Features from The Current
Athletes aren't the only ones frantically preparing for the Beijing Olympics. Chinese citizens are also in training. They're working to perfect skills like not spitting in public and not urinating on the street.
No more calling 911 when there isn't really a fire, and stop touching police officers' tazers.
