I’ve got plenty of background music going in my life. Music in general, and radio in particular, is the soundtrack to my life. And I love songs that ease into the background — you can share a conversation while also enjoying the tune, cut the vegetables, finish your email. But some music just demands undivided attention, songs you can’t half listen to. Let’s celebrate those foreground tracks tonight. Tell me below about some music you simply can’t ignore, and we’ll spin it tonight!

Make your request for this week’s Radio Free Current in the comments below.

You can also join me live on The Current’s Facebook page tonight at 6 Central to leave me a request, hit me up on Twitter at @twinkiejiggles (be sure to tag #RadioFreeCurrent) or you can email me at sean@thecurrent.org. During the program (7 to 11 p.m. Central), you can phone the studio line, 651-989-4893, to tell me your request.
