miTunes: THE CURRENT, FEBRUARY '06

By: B -- 4/3/06

A monthly series with a simple premise: one CD’s worth of the best songs played on 89.3 The Current throughout the month. Two criteria: (1) the songs have to be obscure, underground and/or mostly forgotten, and (2) they must be pop friendly. I wade through The Current’s deep catalog of music (listening to it nearly all day, every day at work) to discover the hidden pop gems. I like to think I have an ear for quality pop music; this series is my supposed evidence.
