Join The Current in engaging in a little music madness of our own. Tune in all week for your favorite artists going up against your other favorite artists.

When the Sam Roberts Band stopped in to The Current's studio to chat with Jill Riley and to play a few songs off their new album, Lo-Fantasy, we had some time at the end to ask Sam Roberts about his guitar. He was happy to tell us about two guitars that he likes so much, he calls them "a couple of good friends."

In town to play a gig at the Fine Line in Minneapolis, five-piece Brooklyn, N.Y., indie rockers Real Estate stopped in to The Current's studio to play some songs off their album, 'Atlas', and to chat with The Current's Mark Wheat.

On Monday night at Intermedia Arts, 140 passionate representatives from the Twin Cities hip-hop community came out to discuss the upcoming event that MN Original and the Current are planning for May 10 at the Fitzgerald Theater.

In town to play a show at the Turf Club in St. Paul, Minn., Montreal-based six-piece Sam Roberts Band stopped in to The Current's studio to play some tracks off their new album, 'Lo-Fantasy', and to chat with the Morning Show's Jill Riley.

In 2011, just after the release of their album Days, Real Estate played the (now defunct) 400 Bar with Big Troubles and a (now defunct) Macalester student band called the Muskies.

U2 hung out on a roof, The Supremes asked us to stop for love, and Elvis Presley recorded his last major hit Today in Music History.

Phantogram reclaim the top spot ahead of their sold out First Avenue show April 13. They were one of the bands that played our Public Radio Rocks showcase in Austin during SXSW, and they lead the pack of FIVE inductees to our Chart Hall of Fame: Arcade Fire, Arctic Monkeys, HAIM, Caroline Smith. That many in one week has never happened before in over 4 years of the show, and that means there's heaps of room for new entries next week!
