actv/flickrGhosts of Pop Music Past
For every stack of CDs and boxed set proudly displayed in the living room, a couple of embarrassing albums lurk at the bottom of a closet. Today on Soundcheck: critics and listeners reveal their dirty musical secrets. Later: singer Ana Moura is part of a new generation of singers working with fado, the melancholic and mournful Portuguese music. She performs in our studio. This is a repeat broadcast.
Dirty Musical Secrets
Today we confess the "dirty secrets" in our pop music past -- the albums, concerts and fan letters that even our closest friends don't know about. Cintra Wilson, New York Times and Salon.com contributor, and Anne Midgette, the Washington Post's acting chief classical music critic join our listeners in sharing their darkest musical secrets. This is a repeat broadcast.
Tell us: We all have a bad album, concert or fan letter waiting to be exposed. What's a dirty secret from your pop-music past?
Ana Moura
Ana Moura is part of a new generation of singers working with fado, the melancholic and mournful Portuguese music that has attracted fans like the Rolling Stones. She joins us to talk about performing a private concert for the famous rockers and she performs in the studio. This is a repeat broadcast.
