A new set begins: Live performance and chat withLaura Veirs.
A new set begins: 'Carbon Glacier', named after 'a beautiful, dirty black and white glacier on the northern slopes of Mount Rainier, was Seattle's Laura Veirs' first album for Nonesuch, a quiet stunner that caught a lot of our ears last year. Veirs' latest disc, 'Year of Meteors,' she describes as a 'road record.' Laura says, 'All the songs are about transportation, motion,' and all the images that crept into her psyche as she toured all over these United States and beyond. She's took a few moments out from her travels to stop by WFMU at the top of the show.

A new set begins: Raised from the ashes of unknown NYC trio John Henry and claiming a failed barbeque chicken restaurant and a doomed satellite as twin muses, Hotbird 7 has been establishing its orbit since December 2002. They aim to make a big beautiful noise: fast and slow, high and low, quiet, loud, twangy, spacey, and proud. Hotbird 7's self-released EP is available only at shows and a full length album is scheduled for Spring 2006.
