Words and music do an elegant dance of meaning and dreaming in the music of San Francisco-based songwriter Mark David Ashworth.

Slow Club is a band that takes its listeners from quiet intimacy to boisterous fun. Slow Club hails from Sheffield, England, and is essentially Charles Watson and Rebecca Taylor, two friends who write and play catchy songs together, now joined also by bass and drums. David Garland welcomes Slow Club to the WNYC Studio to perform songs from their new album, "Paradise." 

British songwriter/improvisor David Thomas Broughton constructs suites of songs out a combination of purpose and accident, tonality and sound, absurdity and sincerity, coherence and incoherence. He sings these surprisingly tuneful pieces in an unlikely, plummy baritone, whisking listeners along to the peculiar opportunities of the moment. Host David Garland invites Broughton into the WNYC Studio to perform and talk about his music.

Plastic Spoon plays songs about money. This newly-formed New York group features great, creative musicians who've played with everybody, pushed musical boundaries, and are now experimenting with being a somewhat normal rock band. Host David Garland welcomes Plastic Spoon to the WNYC Studio to perform and talk about their music. Lend an ear--but only one ear, because Plastic Spoon demands that their music be heard in mono!
