Heard on ASC
If you've ever been curious about those little snippets of music between stories on NPR's Morning Edition or All Things Considered, then you owe it to yourself to check out the online broadcast of All Songs Considered. There is a wide range of music here, nothing too edgy, but probably plenty that will expand your idea of what good music can sound like.
One of my Christmas presents to myself was a collection of cd's I found through listening to the archives of ASC:
- The Weakerthans - Reconstruction Site
- This one is receiving heavy airplay on my iTunes playlist. Download the mp3 of Plea From a Cat Named Virtue from Amazon and check 'em out.
- Tord Gustavsen Trio - Changing Places
- Beulah - Yoko
- Manitoba - Start Breaking My Heart
- 16 Horsepower - Folklore
16 Horsepower - Sackcloth 'n' Ashes - Haunting music of spiritual despair and obsession. Equal parts Primus and Johnny Cash.
