Look around on the subway, and you'll see New Yorkers all around you adrift, "suspended in a clear musical fluid" the Newsday music writer Justin Davidson recently termed, "iPodspace." With musical technology we not only have access to immediate variety, but we can create music to be transported and transplanted anywhere: from the car to the treadmill, or to the largest of football stadiums. So, does where and when you listen to music effect how you listen? Justin Davidson believes they do, and he'll tell us why. Also on Soundcheck today, one of New York City’s best-kept secrets: singer/songwriter Heather Greene. A regular performer at venues all over the city, Heather has just released a new album, Five Dollar Dress, which features musicians Bill Frisell and Steven Barber, among others. Get a taste of her style when Heather performs live in our studio.
