Contra Modernism

The No Show | Mar 30, 2010
PLAYLIST

THEME: “How Long Blues” – Jimmy Yancey, piano
“Moanin’” – Lambert, Hendricks & Ross
“Twisted” – Lambert, Hendricks & Ross
This week Steve treats us to a repeat of his first interview with Emily Levine, who seems even funnier on second hearing. That is, if you think there are humorous possibilities in challenging the philosophical assumptions of western civilization, designing a Barbie Doll for intellectuals, and trying to remember the names of Snow White’s dwarves. We do, but then, we would. Steve also reads some listener e-mails which offer names for that awkward period in human life separating middle age from old age; correct some (but not all) of his past errors; and try to go for the second week in a row without any disastrous technical gaffes. (Suspense mounts!)
This program was first broadcast on November 16, 2002.
