As luck would have it or Karma or the good nature of some of my fine, upstanding listeners, I was able to get some new music (for me, anyway), from Russia, Vietnam and Scotland. Good music ahead, on this week’s World Music Show.

This week (9/4) on The Electric Croude, my sonic snapshots are shuffled – from Suzanne Vega waxing wistful with a memory zephyr whisking through NYC to travelogues of Bob Dylan and Steve Fisher/Matthew Costello – including one of the best unreleased songs of all time.

From NPR’s Morning Edition – Alex Cohen may be a public radio reporter by day, but by night she goes by her roller derby name — Axles of Evil.

From WCVE Public Radio’s John Ogle – An exhibit which opened recently (August 28, 2010) at The Virginia Historical Society provides a fascinating look at the state’s contributions to the rock music of the 1950s.
