Sunday, April 26, 2009
Host David Garland has just returned from performing in the Homegame Festivalin Anstruther, Scotland, an annual event featuring an amazing array of non-traditional song. David encountered many performers he hadn't heard before, and shares some of that music here, including David Thomas Broughton, Rachel Dadd, Slow Club, The Hand, Wig Smith, and Men Diamler.

Amanda Palmer's songs are not only an experience of lyrics and music; she also makes listeners feel the drama of the action of performance.
Amanda sits (and sometimes rises to her feet) at the WNYC piano to croon, sing, and scream some of the songs that appear on her brand new album (released Sept. 16), "Who Killed Amanda Palmer." She also performs a brand new song co-written with famed author Neil Gaiman.
With host David Garland, Amanda discusses the thoughts and passions behind these songs, her on-going work with the band The Dresden Dolls, her network of fans, and music's roles as life-line, catharsis, and thrill.
This show was first broadcast on Sept. 14, 2008
James Blackshaw
Sunday, April 12, 2009
British composer/guitarist James Blackshaw creates music that can inspire a meditative state, but can also go beyond that into the ecstatic and euphoric. Playing with astonishing technique on a 12-string guitar, James creates enveloping clouds of sound. He joins host David Garland to talk about his music and his feelings behind it, and to perform in the WNYC Studio.
