We've partnered with WFUV in New York, to swap 5 of each city's favorite bands and play them on the air. Each night at 6:30, Mark Wheat will talk with WFUV's Rita Houston and play one song from the Twin Cities and one from New York, proving that there's more to Minnesota than Prince and the Replacements, and that New York's not all hipsters in skinny jeans. Come back each day for free MP3s of the featured bands.

About the hosts

Mark Wheat (The Current, Minnesota)

Mark Wheat is heard weekdays 6-10 p.m. on The Current and a DJ with the station since it launched in 2005. He tries to emulate his hero, the late, great BBC DJ John Peel, introducing new music to the audience by mixing it with songs they know and love. Wheat was raised near Cambridge, England, permanently relocating to the United States in 1983.

Rita Houston (WFUV, Bronx, NY)

A nationally recognized tastemaker filled with a broad knowledge and passion for music, Rita Houston shapes the musical direction of WFUV's acclaimed and unique music format. Firmly based in the greatest city in the world, Houston's music mix brings 'rock for grownups' diversity to the left end of the New York radio dial.
