I expressed some love for the Ponys last week, and now I’m going full tilt, which means I recorded the group’s appearance on Minnesota Public Radio’s the Current and split it into individual mp3s.

Looks like I can redeem myself for missing them in Phoenix last month by catching them at the Pitchfork Music Festival this summer. (Although, I’m not traveling 1,800 miles just for them. This concept of GZA performing the whole of Liquid Swords is the main draw … for now.)

So here’s a nice, three-song set to enjoy while I go swimming (it’s supposed to be 103 degrees today) with my nieces.

The Ponys, on MPR’s the Current, 5/4/07:

• We Shot the World.
• Exile on My Street.
• Turn the Lights Out.
