Across 110th St. Playlist, Interview Recording for 3/15/08

If any of you missed our fantastic interview with the New Mastersounds at 1PM today on Across 110th St., you can pick it up online here. They previewed a couple tracks that will debut on their next studio album, so make sure to pick it up before the next Night Train recording displaces the link. The band is finishing up their US tour tonight, going on at around 11:30 at Sullivan Hall in the village. Congrats to Terry, who won our ticket giveaway and will get to go (with a special someone) to see NMS for free tonight.

Make sure to tune into the Night Train, my regular show, at 1AM this Tuesday night/Wednesday morning. We’ll have guest DJ Rich Medina in the studio to talk and spin.
