The Forgotten Arm, the new studio album from Aimee Mann (aimeemann.com)The Knock-Out Punch
Singer-songwriter Aimee Mann recently released "The Forgotten Arm," a concept album starring a washed-up boxer, and a girl from the local fair who ran away with him. Today, how Mann's own experience in the boxing ring helped shape the album's story. Also: Finnish-born conductor Esa-Pekka Salonen has presided as music director of the Los Angeles Philharmonic for 13 years and has built it into a virtuoso ensemble with a ultra-modern concert hall and a fresh approach to programming. He's also a composer whose works are increasingly showing the influence of his adopted LA home. And you thought "LA culture" just meant Mickey Mouse and plastic surgery?
