Every Monday morning at 9:15, I visit the Classical MPR studio to talk about stories we're featuring on our website. Here are the stories Alison Young and I will be discussing this morning.
The budget classical label Naxos has struck a deal to make its entire catalog available via the streaming service Pandora—a deal that's raised questions among musicians' advocates who want to ensure that performers are being fairly paid. In a statement released this week, Naxos insisted the deal with Pandora will in fact benefit musicians.
It Follows is shaping up to be the year's surprise horror hit. Garrett Tiedemann talked with Disasterpeace, the composer of the synth-heavy—and deliberately unsubtle—score for the movie about teens stalked by a supernatural evil.
Last week was Member Appreciation Week here at MPR, and we asked two of our hosts to tell our members about how they got their starts in radio. Read about Lynne Warfel's journey from the silver screen to the Silver City (that would be St. Paul), and how a flyer on a pegboard in Nebraska sparked Emily Reese's radio career.
