Pop Quiz

One of FUV's favorite new artists of 2009, Cory Chisel, makes regular trips to NYC for shows around town, as a duet (with Adriel Harris) or with a full band. The last time the pride of Appleton, Wisconsin was in town, he stopped by WFUV for a chat with his champion Rita Houston, which led to the WFUV Pop Quiz. "Nature Boy" or the "New Bruce"? You decide.

Mary Chapin Carpenter sat down with John Platt for an interview at the Canal Room in New York City in front of an audience of WFUV Marquee Members. They talked about her recovery from a near-death experience, her quiet life in rural Virginia, and her very personal new CD, The Age of Miracles. As they were finishing their conversation, Mary Chapin took a deep breath and submitted to the WFUV Pop Quiz.

The partnership between singer-songwriter M. Ward and Hollywood actress Zooey Deschanel might have struck some people as a vanity project at first, but it's the real deal. After being introduced by the director of The Go-Getter to record a duet, they discovered they shared a passion for similar music. On a whim, Zooey sent Matt some of her original songs, which he decided they should record, and She & Him was born. They came by WFUV to talk with Rita Houston about their second CD, Volume Two, and took the WFUV Pop Quiz.
