Love Lost...And Found

Tuesday, September 13, 2011

Most discussions of the psychedelic rock band Love begin and end with their 1967 album “Forever Changes.” But this fall, a rare 1973 album called “Black Beauty” will finally get its official release. Today, we uncover a missing chapter in the book of Love. Plus, we chew on more of your experiences with misophonia. And, a live performance from Gabriel Kahane.

Love's 'Black Beauty'

This fall, a once-lost album from the band Love will finally see the light of day. The psychedelic rock group, led by the late songwriter Arthur Lee, is best known for its 1967 epic, “Forever Changes.” But now, a rare 1973 album called “Black Beauty” (which featured the band in an all-black lineup) will finally get its official release. Joining us to shed light on this missing chapter in the book of Love are musician Joe Blocker -- who played drums in the band -- and music writer John Einarson.

Chewing on Misophonia

During our segment yesterday on misophonia, we heard from quite a few listeners who have experienced the agony of everyday sounds. Like crunchy apples. And chewing gum. Listener Sam from NYC wrote, "I thought I was the only one!" Today, we hear more of your stories on the mystery of misophonia.

In Studio: Gabriel Kahane

Gabriel Kahane is a singer and songwriter who is equally at home in the worlds of contemporary classical music and indie rock.  The man who once created a very weird song cycle out of Craigslist postings has a new album and joins us for a live performance.
