I don't know how I forgot to mention this before it happened, but I'll make up for it now. I was invited yesterday to
guest on today's Soundcheck program on WNYC in New York,
hosted by John Schaefer. John is a renowned radio host and promoter of new music in various media and venues; I was
delighted to meet him and see the face behind a voice I've heard for years. Soundcheck usually features actual
music and musicians, but today's topic was RIAA
lawsuits. During the course of a 40-minute discussion we covered the Patricia Santangelo case, details of the RIAA's
targeting and settlement process, and responded to live calls and emails.
The show is archived on this page, and also available as a podcast (usually two
days behind the broadcast in iTunes). My segments are separated from the rest of the show and offered as a RealAudio
stream on this page.
WNYC is located at
1 Centre Street in
Manhattan, in an imposing building that looms over City Hall. Lobby security is as tough as in any airport, and I
stalled the line by generating an incessant and inexplicable beeping in my stomach area when wanded by the guard, as if
I had eaten nails for lunch. He finally gave up, which isn't an encouraging outcome but did deliver me to the 25th-floor
studio on time.
