Ed Parinello, Syd Straw and Don Piper on WNYC's SoundcheckMy Funny Valentine
Since her emergence in the mid-'80s as a vocalist with the New York cult band the Golden Palominos Syd Straw has been one of the most distinctive singer-songwriters on the scene. Today on Soundcheck, she joins host John Schaefer to discuss her annual Heartwreck Show, a Valentine’s Day concert for the jaded, featuring a mix of twisted torch songs and original material which takes place this weekend. Also, WNYC Music Host David Garland stops by to review some new recordings, including Greetings from Michigan, the third album from Brooklyn-based singer/songwriter Sufjan Stevens, a beautiful, sprawling homage to the Great Lake State.
