NPR For The Deaf: We Hear It Even When You Can’t
Nobody on the radio can hear you screaming, and a tree falling in the woods still makes a sound even if nobody hears it. With this in mind, we introduce a new semi-recurring feature, NPR For The Deaf. To wit, all these things happened while your were sleeping or watching stoopid Tee-Vee:
>>> Joel Rose let in the eternal Tropicalia sunshine of Tom Ze’s spotless mind. [All Things Considered]
>>> Jazzbo scribe Kevin Whitehead gave posthumous Pulitzer recipient Thelonius Monk his due. What’s that? A Monk newbie? Start with 1963 In Japan and stand on the shoulders of a giant. You’re welcome. [Fresh Air]
>>> Phileb secret crush Marty Moss-Coane – so capable! so redheaded! — pooper-scooped up summa the dogshit of current politics with Time’s resident beardo Joe Klein who was in town to flog the aptly titled, Politics Lost: How American Democracy was Trivialized by People Who Think You’re Stupid. [Radio Times]
