Unfortunately, Vin Scelsa is feeing under the weather on this early spring Saturday. So on tonight's "Idiot's Delight"® at 8, I'll be minding Vin's show with a globetrotting mix of music that I hope he might enjoy (with a bowl of chicken soup), including Samaris (pictured), Juana Molina, Johnny Cash and June Carter Cash, Kevin Drew, Tiny Ruins and Esperanza Spalding.
Nicole Atkins is a Jersey girl with a huge voice and a myriad of influences. She brought her "A" game to Rockwood Music Hall to showcase her new band and a great batch of new songs from her latest album, Slow Phaser.
Since tomorrow is International Pillow Fight Day, we want to know what four artists you would invite to your imaginary slumber party. Who would you want to stay up late with, eating popcorn and spinning records? Leave your artist list in the comments below and we'll choose one set to spin after 9am.
Here's what we played this morning:
"Burning Up" - Madonna
"Raspberry Beret" - Prince
"Brown Sugar" - The Rolling Stones (Mick Jagger)
The latest release from the Brooklyn-based Milagres is called Violent Light and it finds the band refining its icy synthpop sound. There are hints of '80s-era Roxy Music and David Bowie and the songs have a lush, majestic feel to them. The band stops by Studio A to play us some of their new songs and talk about the new record.
This Sydney band more than avoided the sophomore slump when its new album Harlequin Dream topped the Australian charts. It also expanded their sound by incorporating '60s and '70s rock influences. Boy & Bear is acoustic at the core though, and that is how the guys perform on this episode of FUV Live.
