Atlanta became known as "Hotlanta" in the '90s when it became associated with the "Dirty South," hip-hop movement. But lately the city is home to a growing indie rock scene. Today, Atlanta's Lauren Aparicio, A.K.A. DJ L, talks about the sound of Atlanta music and tells us who to look and listen for. Also: a live performance by singer/songwriter Shara Worden, who performs under the moniker My Brightest Diamond and who was recently signed to the Asthmatic Kitty label. Finally: the Harlem-born pianist Roy Eaton joins us to talk about championing the work of ragtime great Scott Joplin. This is a repeat edition of Soundcheck.
