(iDJ/Flickr)From the Record Store Geek to the MP-She
A recent survey by the British media group Emap found that, contrary to popular belief, downloading has been enthusiastically taken up by women, who are also reading music magazines in greater numbers than before. Today, a look how the "MP-she" generation is bypassing the old boys' club of traditional record shops. Also: The duo of Paul de Jong and Nick Zammuto, known collectively as The Books, create intricate songs that blend guitar, cello and voice, along with electronic samples of musical instruments, snippets from movies, feet shuffling, or dishes rattling. They join us in advance of their appearance at the World Financial Center's Winter Garden in lower Manhattan.
