Covering the World

Saturday, September 27, 2008

Listen to the bossa nova bounce of Nouvelle Vague’s latest collection of 80’s and post-punk music all-done up on this edition of New Sounds. Perhaps you’ll recognize their versions of songs by Blondie, Echo & the Bunnymen and the Buzzcocks. Then Tuvan singer, electric guitarist and experimentalist Albert Kuvezin and his punk band Yat-Kha re-interpret tunes by Joy Division and Iron Butterfly, among others. Plus, The Yoshida Brothers, a shamisen duo, perform an arrangement of Brian Eno’s “By This River.” And we sample some acoustic renditions of David Bowie in Portuguese by Brazilian pop heavyweight Seu Jorge.

Love your show, listen as often as possible: savor
specially the very breadth & width,of your musical sky.
life is a dance led by the Muse.
most recently the 'Nusrat' segment yet again
enriching not only the evening, but the very vast scope
music has in evry day s life.
