Words to Play By...
Today on the show, Damon Krukowski and Naomi Yang, two members of the influential 1980s Boston trio Galaxie 500, went out on their own in the early 1990s, producing their distinctive subtle and dreamy albums. In the five years since Damon & Naomi’s last studio album, the duo have been busy. They’ve started the imprint label 20/20/20 and published experimental literature classics through their book publishing company Exact Change. Their fifth studio album The Earth is Blue was released in February. They'll perform live in our studio today. Also, April is national jazz and poetry month. Flushing Town Hall is celebrating with a three-day festival called "Other Words, Other Worlds." We’ll be joined by pianist Matthew Shipp with poet Steve Dalachinsky, and Bowery Poetry Club owner Bob Holman.
