Program #1916
Pop and rock songs from unusual sources. Amy Denio is a very difficult to categorize songwriter, but she always has something significant to say, as in the tune "When George Bush Was Head Of The CIA." Patrick Grant, founder and artistic director of the new-music organization sTRANGEmUSIC, is represented by "The Weight of Numbers." We also hear songs by Derek Bermel, the Latin Playboys, and Eyvind Kang.

Things With Strings
New Sounds
Airs daily at 11PM on 93.9 FM

New Sounds Essentials: World Music
New Sounds
Airs daily at 11PM on 93.9 FM
New Sounds presents another night of recommended recordings, this time in the “world music” vein. Hear selections by the Algeria-born and San Francisco-based DJ Cheb I Sabbah, Ethiopian soul singer Mahmoud Ahmed, and others.
Away From Jazz
New Sounds
airs daily at 11PM on 93.9 FM
For this New Sounds, get a load of jazz musicians stepping away from the jazz tradition. There's music from punkass jazz melody-makers Gutbucket off of their latest release, "A Modest Proposal." Also, we'll hear from the latest by Matthew Shipp, called "Harmony and Abyss" and much more.
In Robert Moran's Kitchen
New Sounds
From October 30, 1989, the infamous "cooking show" with composer/raconteur Robert Moran. Recorded while cooking an Indian dinner in John Schaefer's kitchen, for reasons still not entirely clear. Along the way, we hear an "acoustic" version of Cage's 0:00 - for amplification of chopping vegetables and blender. And don't miss the teary conversation as onions are chopped. View the the recipes.
