Also, music for rat cages and dot matrix printers, songs about living through a war, and more, from Mountaineers, Alexis O'Hara, Matmos, The User, Sybarite, Scott Walker, and Gretchen Phillips and David Driver.

Downtown composer, improviser, and music catalyst John Zorn visits Spinning On Air tonight to share the many film scores he's written lately, and he discusses the unusual working technique he's developed for these projects.

Valentine's Day

Friday, February 14, 2003

Love comes in all shapes, styles, and sizes--or is it that all shapes, styles, and sizes can inspire love? In any case, there sure are a lot of different kinds of love songs, from the celebratory to the forlorn, and from the intimate to the grandiose. Culling from all categories except "bland," host David Garland has gathered a sonic box of mixed musical chocolates for Valentine's Day.

We'll hear from Phil Ochs, Bob Dylan, Nina Simone, and many others.
