Lover’s Carvings by Bibio – Suggested by Will on Facebook
On A Clear Day (You Can See Forever) by Bill Evans – Suggested by Leonard Lopate, who heard about it from Jonathan Schwartz!
Sun Was High (So Was I) by Best Coast – Suggested by producer Paige Cowett
Fuego by Bomba Estereo – Suggested by Fernando on Facebook
Beach Baby by Bon Iver – Suggested by Janet on Facebook
New Seed by Beatbox Guitar – Suggested by Carol on Facebook

Jody Avirgan started two days before The Brian Lehrer Show won a Peabody, and he is taking full credit. He comes to WNYC from WFUV, where he produced "Cityscape" with the great George Bodarky. He's worked for KQED Radio in San Francisco, is a founder of Longshot Radio, and has produced pieces that have aired here and there and everywhere.

Here is a great clip of him beatboxing with legendary Egyptian drummer Said El Artist. Notice how the audience goes wild around 1:20 when he goes into the traditional Middle Eastern rhythms Beledi and Saiidi.
Thank you for posting Beatbox Guitar -- they are an amazing duo! Pete List (the beatboxer) in particular has been doing some extraordinary work with Middle Eastern music and rhythms. Here is a great clip of him beatboxing with legendary Egyptian drummer Said El Artist. Notice how the audience goes wild around 1:20 when he goes into the traditional Middle Eastern rhythms Beledi and Saiidi. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KWl5ACqAms0
Listen to one of many Jordi Savall ancient music recordings....Will relax you, challenge you, and take you to the past for a bit!
Alia Vox, Naivee, Astree labels.
[[DB, good catch! It's fixed. Usually we get the "Brain" Lehrer Show... But Bryan Lair is a nice touch too. -BL Show-]]
Leonard Lopate heard about a song from "Jonathon Schartz"? I hope that isn't a reference to *Jonathan Schwartz,* who has worked at WNYC for more than 10 years! P.S. I like the Bryan Lair Show. ;-)
