In the Musicast segment, the big story is the death of Amy Winehouse. Colin Melloy, from the Decemberists, has a children's book on the way! We also checked out a track from the Swedish band, Little Dragon, whose album is out today! For the Chart Breakouts we sampled a new one from Jill Scott, featuiring Anthony Hamilton. Melanie talked about the new album from Washed Out in The Next Big Thing. Thurston Moore chatted with me in The Guest List! He digs Bardo Pond! (Our in-studio session with Thurston airs Thursday at 5 p.m.) In the Music Meeting, Teenage Kicks host Jacquie Fuller and Web guy Brett Baldwin and I discuss the new album from Battles! For The Essentials, Program Coordinator Lindsay Kimball dropped by to chat about one of her favorites, The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill! ...and we closed the show with a new one from the supergroup of sorts, Wild Flag!
