After a startling start with a story by Ivor Cutler, hear a preview of the music of Loose Fur (Jeff Tweedy, Jim O'Rourke, Glenn Kotchke) on this installment of Spinning on Air. Then huddle 'round the radio hearth for "The 2nd Imaginary Symphony for Cloudmaking," a story with music by Julian Koster (pictured) and his group The Music Tapes, narrated by Brian Dewan accompanied by bowed banjos, singing saws and sound effects. It's a strange and lovely tale for all ages. Also, hear some 1960s songs by Brazil's great Caetano Veloso. Veloso's autobiography, Tropical Truth, is out and is another good story, but one you'll have to read for yourself!
