Hosted by PS1 founder Alanna Heiss and Music Director Lokke Highstein.

Digging the show, David! Interview and tunes are great! This is reminding of a chip music show that I attended a few years ago. There were djs and a sampling of 100 different flavours of potato chips. The music was better than the buffet. ;)

strikes me that mcclaren had an optimistic view of technology and authenticity back then, wonder if he would still have that view with artificial 'intelligence', a different kettle of fish. i know of a musician, a sitarist, in london who uses a.i. and ends up sounding like john williams. maybe a bad use of a.i. or a flawed characterstic of a.i.

Arlo's show is a buffet for beachcombers. And when he did a previous fill-in he did flex a bit in the direction of that program's theme. Will be interesting to hear the bodega buffet tonight.
