News and Information

Spinning on Air | May 18, 2010
The "news" here is the musical kind: new and unreleased tracks by M. Ward, Akron/Family, Antony and the Johnsons, The Dirty Projectors, Jana Hunter, Metallic Falcons, The Wingdale Community Singers, Bright Eyes, and others. The information comes thick and fast in Jeffrey Lewis' "The History of Punk on New York's Lower East Side, 1950-1975," a concise set of musical descriptions and depictions in rollicking, rhyming verse. Outside the realm of news and information--even outside the world of logic--are a pair of songs, one each from Seth Faergolzia and Barry Bliss. With Valentine's Day approaching we have a little bouquet--a corsage is more like it--of love songs from Michael Holt, Daniel Johnston, and The Blow, plus you get the chance to show your love for WNYC (yeah, fundraising).

WNYC is funded by sponsors and member donations
