Obama Gets Memed & EL VY Plays Live

Studio 360 | Oct 29, 2015

The new band EL VY plays live in our studio, combining the downer indie rock of The National with the cheery electro-pop of Menomena. Also, how President Obama became the internet’s go-to scapegoat for all of life’s little annoyances. And the writer Valeria Luiselli explains how she collaborated with the workers in a Mexican juice plant to write her latest novel, “The Story of My Teeth.”
