We'll hear unusual approaches to songs on this New Sounds program, including something from vocalist/composer/songwriter Julia Holter, whose recent "Ekstasis," both bewitches and confounds with its substantial song-craft and challenging freak-pop. Listen to songs by Julia Holter, along with recent songs from violinist/composer Carla Kihlstedt, and songwriter Lee Feldman. Plus, music from Elizabeth & the Catapult.

Rabbit rabbit: one of those superstitions. On the first day of the month, the minute you wake up you're supposed to say "Rabbit rabbit." and then you'll have good luck all month. If you forget, say "Turtle turtle." as soon as you realize - as long as its still the first day. Otherwise... Well, I never knew what happened.
Love your show. Kitty
Rabbit Rabbit would come from the superstition that if you say 'rabbit rabbit' at the first of the month before anything else you will have good luck
That song by Ed Pastorini was absolutely brilliant - I hope it's available somewhere...
