That's not a spoon in the garbage disposal, its Lars
Fellow former UCer Lars Gotrich had his own episode of All Songs Considered last week; finally got around to loading it on the ipod this morning, so I can now officially endorse it. I can also inform you that the tagline from NPR is misleading (if humorous); there is nothing on it that sounds like a spoon in a garbage disposal (unfortunately). I'll admit I was hoping for something a little bit less listenable than Harvey Milk to represent metal, but we'll have to make do with what's on there. I found the Polish composer Jacaszek (Lars seemed very excited about how depressing he is) and Dirty Projectors-related medieval post-punk band Extra Life particularly compelling.
Listen online here, download here or navigate to All Songs Considered in iTunes.
Robi, if you need more metal, you can always go this story: http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=92753394
Glad you liked the show, man. Looks like we might do more.
