jonsi!

jonsi of sigur ros has a solo album coming out april 6. he plays two shows at terminal 5 may 8 and 9. home friends, jonsi stops by zellerbach on april 15. he was on soundcheck and this fab sesh just went up on npr. it's all acousticky goodness with falsetto quivers.

shar hearts wnyc

reason to consider going back to npr: wnyc. it's been almost two years since i was employed at a npr affiliated establishment. my pal adam who i used work with at the former npr station was kind enough to get me into check out the rival station.

first stop, soundcheck studios for some iggy pop one on one. he sure was eloquent and surprisingly deep. i'm not sure about his new concept album, preliminaires.



that was followed by a set by elizabeth and the catapult.



lastly, a short tour of the station. kinda puts the Q to shame. sorry Q still love you and technically i'm still pledging your services even though i don't use them anymore.

npr has it going on

as i do every morning i loaded in my npr player to get the day started right. i was pleasantly surprised with my hometown station branding. i do send a lot of npr links because i heart them so. i assume they grabbed my local station from that. sorry wnyc, i still donate to the q.
