The Album That Changed Your Life
Nirvana inspired thousands of teenagers to pick up a guitar, but the band's music might have sounded very different if frontman Kurt Cobain had never picked up a Beatles album. Today: listeners and music critics tell us how one album changed their lives. Plus: the rock-powered jazz trio The New Standards performs in our studio. This is a repeat broadcast.
When a CD Is More Than a CD
Lurking in every music fan's collection is an album that changed a life in some way, big or small. Today we ask you to tell us about an album that compelled you to pick up an instrument, start a career in music, or make a big decision. Music writer Michael Azerrad and DJ Rekha, whose work fuses South Asian bhangra with hip-hop, join us to explain how certain albums changed them. This is a repeat broadcast.
The New Standards
Members of The New Standards led past lives in groups like the Suburbs, Semisonic, and Billygoat. On their latest album, Rock and Roll, the trio's rock chops fuel unplugged and jazzy covers of songs by Elvis Costello, Britney Spears and the Clash. They join us for an in-studio performance. This is a repeat broadcast.
