The New Standards
Friday, July 03, 2009
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.

I suppose in every phase of your life there is a theme album connected to it. Although I was born the same year as The White Album
Beatles/ Sgt. Pepper the 1st album I bought second hand
I learned at 11y.o change is good, but, this is a real trip.
I am surprised that only men have been mentioned so far. Ani Difranco's Not a Pretty Girl had a huge influence on my life. What she was saying in that album made it OK to be a different kind of girl, and to not have to meet the expectations of mainstream suburban long island culture. Extremely powerful and validating album.
