Join us for a live broadcast in The Greene Space, with performances from two master storytellers: singer-songwriter Suzanne Vega, and indie rocker John Darnielle with his band, The Mountain Goats. Plus: We turn a critical eye to "The Universal Sigh," the just-released print component of Radiohead's "newspaper album."
Hit-maker Suzanne Vega writes about a literary hero in a new original play called “Carson McCullers Talks About Love.” She joins us to talk about the iconic author and perform songs from the play. Later: The Mountain Goats is a band built around John Darnielle, who just might be indie rock’s most inventive storyteller. The group joins us to play songs from their new album, "All Eternals Deck."
