(Special Music Released on 9/11/2001 Episode) Curiously, several of my most eagerly anticipated and favorite records of 2001 were released that year's most famous day: 9/11. On this weeks show, we listen to music I bought on 9/11/2001. First up, California's fantastic ex-band
Beulah does "Cruel Minor Change" from their stellar album
The Coast if Never Clear (
iTunes,
Amazon). Then my favorite band Brooklyn's own
They Might Be Giants did their lovely cover of
Georgie Fame's "Yeah! Yeah!" from their album
Mink Car (
Amazon). Followed by the great UK electronic group
Groove Armada who's "Super Stylin'" was found on their
Goodbye Country (Hello Nightclub) (
iTunes,
Amazon). Tho we heard the "radio edit" which can be found on the
Single (
Amazon). Then
Ben Folds, who's solo career launched on 9/11, did "Annie Waits" from his quality record
Rockin' the Suburbs (
iTunes,
Amazon)
Ben Folds also, by the way, has a new collection of recent work coming out soon. And finally Austin's
The American Analog Set did the title-track from their album
Know by Heart (
iTunes,
Amazon).
This week's episode features the poem called "For the Falling Man" by Annie Farnsworth read by
Garrison Keillor for The Writers Almanac, as well as a notorious clip from the American Taliban's own Jerry Falwell about who was responsible for the attacks of that day. Also, it was The Beatles' album With the Beatles that was released November 22nd, 1963.
