Thanks, ogged! I think I like the Weepies.

I'm very fond of Erin McKeown's latest album Sing You Sinners, which is pre-WWII pop songs. The "single" is You Come From Rhode Island, a very strange song.

To connect with the last thread, I've moved my NPR listening from my local station, WFCR in Amherst MA, to WFUV in the Bronx over the Internet. (Though has anyone else noticed Internet weather for audio streaming being much worse over the last couple of weeks?) I still get Wait Wait on WFCR, which I like a lot. Of the other shows referred to in the other thread, I like American Routes, Thistle and Shamrock, and Weekend Edition Sunday, can take Car Talk only in small doses, and find Echoes entirely unlistenable.

Damn, that reminds me I just missed Erin Mckeown here, and I'd really meant to catch her show.

Thanks ogged. That Weepies track is a melancholy little gem.

Steve Goldberg is another talented musical mefite, though not enough of the songs posted on his site employ tuba.

Both good tracks. Do I hear a slight undercurrent of "The House of the Rising Sun" in eat yr young?

What do you mean, baa? "House of the Rising Sun" is old.

You can listen to a live Erin Mckeown performance (and legally!) here.

Also, I wouldn't call Mckeon "pop". Anyone else? Or is this a bit of irony that i'm missing b/c I missed some comment thread?

I'll take this thread to 16 myself, if I have to.

Ogged, maybe you should check out the late Chris Whitley.
