The band-who-cannot-be-named (on radio, anyway) have grown over the years into a unit of over 20 rotating members from locales like Baltimore, Portland, and right here in NYC. They project -- via guitars, loops, saxophones, turntables and more -- a sound equivalent of a Harry Smith film: a chaotic, beautiful tapestry of many things including space rock, free jazz, and true American folk.

The band [revels] in unusual harmony, unorthodox instrumentation and unconventional structure, but the music [addresses] the ear gently."

The Bamboo Kids

The Last Town Chorus
Monday, February 24th, 2003, 3pm - 6pm
on Irene Trudel's show
Lovely moodiness for a winter's afternoon. Megan Hickey and Nat Guy pair up on a debut CD that is simply gorgeous. As they describe it, "After several months of slow-burning hours over old instruments, effects pedals, and scrap piles of Megan's lyrics, the sound clicked... The Last Town Chorus lives in Brooklyn, New York and feels canals, flight patterns, subway rumbles and riverbeds."

The Sun
Monday, February 24th, 2003, Noon - 3pm
on Three Chord Monte with Joe Belock
This new band carries on the tradition of great Ohio punk rock in the vein of Gaunt and the New Bomb Turks. There's even a former member of the Turks thrown in for authenticity!

Andrew Ross, director of American Studies at NYU
Friday, February 21st, 2003, 8pm - 11pm
on World of Echo with Dave Mandl
Dave's guest will be Andrew Ross, director of the American Studies program at NYU. Andrew will be discussing his new book, "No-Collar: The Humane Workplace and Its Hidden Costs" -- a study of life at dot-com workplaces at the height of the internet revolution. (This interview was originally scheduled to take place on Feb. 7.)

"Horns and Halos"
Friday, February 21st, 2003, 6pm - 7pm
on Aerial View
Tune in for a special interview with the people behind the independent documentary "Horns and Halos". The film examines the rise and fall of "Fortunate Son", the first published biography of George W. Bush. At the time of its recall, the book was #8 on amazon.com's best-seller list, no doubt due to its widely-publicized allegations that Bush had been arrested for cocaine possession in 1972. "Fortunate Son" author, J. H. Hatfield, killed himself after immense negative pressure from Bush's protectors. Michael Galinsky, Suki Hawley, and Sander Hicks of Soft Skull Press will discuss the genesis of the project and unravel details of this bizarre story.
