The good folks at All Songs Considered got together to discuss the fall preview of new music. Nothing too extraordinary was revealed and there was a lot of bickering and interruption of the usually good intros by Robin Hilton. The Flaming Lips new track was really interesting and the resulting collaboration that is BlakRoc, various rappers (including Mos Def) and the Black Keys, is really great. I look forward to getting that album.The fact that its fall already (despite the stickiness of the NYC air right now) makes me start thinking about the NYGeog Best of 2009 Compilation. So if you have any suggestions feel free to shoot me an email at nygeog@gmail.com. The rules are simple; 1. the music has to have come out in 2009 (official or non-official releases accepted), 2. sometimes good songs don't make it on (but will make effort to include up-and-coming artists other songs if their best doesn't fit) because the mix has to flow like an album (as best as I can do).
September 21, 2009 - On this edition of All Songs Considered host Bob Boilen talks with Monitor Mix Blogger Carrie Brownstein, producer Robin Hilton, and Song of the Day editor Stephen Thompson about some the albums they're most looking forward to coming out this fall.
