The Wingdale Community Singers Return
Sunday, November 22, 2009
A community of Brooklyn-based songwriters, The Wingdale Community Singers continues the old folk tradition of keenly observed songs about the worlds around us and within us. Comprised of novelist Rick Moody, visual artist Nina Katchadourian, and composers Hannah Marcus and David Grubbs, the band, along with bassist Elyssa Linowes, returns to Spinning On Air to sing songs from their new album "Spirit Duplicator," and talk with host David Garland.
Glass Ghost
Sunday, November 15, 2009
The name Glass Ghost might imply something fragile and ethereal, but this Glass Ghost has some sharp edges and a haunting quality. A duo of just vocalist/keyboardist Eliot Krimsky and drummer Mike Johnson, the band sets Eliot's falsetto voice in stripped-down, rhythmic, oddly tuneful songs about the metamorphosis of a modern business man. Host David Garland welcomes Glass Ghost to the WNYC to perform and talk about their music.
