Announcer: Listener-supported WNYC studios.
Kerry: It's All Of It on WNYC. I'm Kerry Nolan, in for Alison Stewart. In our next segment, we're going to be talking about the music of Elliott Smith and the 25th anniversary of his album, XO. If you have any memories of that album, I'd love to hear about that. Call us during the conversation at 212-433-9692, that's 212-433-WNYC. Before we get there though, we wanted to highlight some of the live music we've hosted here in the WNYC Studios in the past week. On Monday, we were joined by jazz singer, Roxana Amed and pianist, Frank Carlberg hearing songs from their album, Los Trabajos y Las Noches.
On Tuesday, singer-songwriter, Margaret Glaspy came in to perform some songs from her album, Echo The Diamond, which officially comes out tomorrow. In both cases, we enjoyed the conversation so much. We ran out of time before we could get to all the songs that the guests had planned to play, so they were nice enough to stick around and record after we went off the air and we want to share those performances with you right now. First up is Margaret Glaspy's song, Memories, from her new album, Echo The Diamond.
MUSIC - Margaret Glaspy: Memories
Memories feel like a disease
Or some kind of bad infection
Spreading in all directions
Just memories as far as my mind can see
I don't want the good with the bad
Why can't this be the only time I've ever had?
Memories, forgive me please
I'm lonesome without you
But I'm a wreck thinking about you
Just memories as far as my mind can see
It's too sad looking back
I'm all right of that I'm sure
Until I'm crying on the kitchen floor
I swear that I'm fine until I'm traveling back in time
To all those memories
For an hour I forget
And then my heart starts paying debts
If I'm alone for a little while
I can only see his smile
And all those memories
Kerry: That was Margaret Glasby with the song Memories, which appears on her new album, Echo The Diamond. That drops tomorrow. You can catch Margaret at Rough Trade tomorrow evening for a concert and an album signing. Now, a song called Pido el Silencio by the jazz singer, Roxana Amed and pianist Frank Carlberg with text from the poet, Alejandra Pizarnik.
Music - Roxana Amed and Frank Carlberg: Pido el Silencio
aunque es tarde, es noche,
y tú no puedes.
Canta como si no pasara nada.
Nada pasa
Kerry: That was Pido el Silencio by the jazz singer, Roxana Amed and pianist, Frank Carlberg with text from the Argentine poet, Alejandra Pizarnik. They joined just in WNYC Studio 5 earlier this week. Now, next week, Regina Spektor will join us as she comes in on Monday's All Of It for a live performance. You're going to want to be around for that.
