Two of host David Garland's favorite musical discoveries of the year--songwriters Daniela Gesundheit and Dan Goldman--come from Toronto to the WNYC Studio to perform and talk about their music. Each accompanies the other in sets of songs by Snowblink (Daniela) and Luxury Pond (Dan), and joining them both is multi-instrumentalist Caley Monahon-Ward. Musically rich and lyrically compelling, the songs are about wearing antlers, planting bulbs, being a shark's brain, and orbiting planets, as well as love and friendship.Snowblink (Daniela Gesundheit)

?And space itself: a straight line from every point to every other point, from this roof to this cloud, to the sun, and back to the roof. Points making lines, lines making planes, planes making bodies... The fine curve of space was almost visible from here.?
--Daniel Kehlmann, ?The Mathematician?
Two stories about passionate pursuits?cerebral and visceral. - Polyps (The No Show: Saturday, 22 November 2008)
Sat, 22 Nov 2008 05:00 GMT
There are some subjects ? like economics ? that Steve does not want to know a whole lot about. Ignorance may not be bliss, but bliss is more than he hopes for. Simple ignorance is enough in itself. But on other matters, like Charles Darwin?s polyps, Steve wants to know everything there is to know (having himself had bad experiences with polyps). Fortunately, Darwin scholar and channeler, Richard Milner, is on hand to tell all. In other business, we learn that although nothing else is selling, gun sales are running 40% ahead of this time last year. And we induct Miriam Makeba into The NO SHOW Musical Necropolis.PLAYLIST
