Songs for Newsworthy News with Michael Hearst |
|||||
|
When it comes to music and writing, Michael Hearst can't seem to sit still. Even with such satisfying songwriting projects as One Ring Zero, Songs for Ice Cream Trucks, in addition to the 18:59 Podcast, Hearst has a timely new venture - Songs for Newsworthy News. Topical events are set to song, and there's no more perfect day to invite Michael to present this on WFMU than the day before election day. |

I found a Mr. Softee graveyard in Richmond, VA once. A whole fenced-off parking lot full of rusted-out ice cream trucks. | |
|
Mon. 11/3/08 4:33pm
Cecile:
Please contact the Ice Cream trucks in Minneapolis. The only thing they ever play is "Turkey in the Straw" | |
|
Mon. 11/3/08 4:33pm
stingy d:

|
Mon. 11/3/08 4:35pm
Webhamster Henry:
Here's an NPR story with some of Ice Cream Headache's Songs: http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=9945901 The Gamelany "Mr. Softy" by Nina Katchadourian should be someone's bed music! | |

Or we just go "Woo hoo!" and otherwise make nuisances of ourselves. | |

|
Mon. 11/3/08 4:56pm

Grog is anything that makes a pirate go "Arrrr!" Of course, gold, women, a cat, underwear, rain, oxygen and other pirates also make pirates go "Arrrr!", so by that definition... | |
