Drummers: Heart of the Band...Or Butt of the Joke? (Soundcheck: Tuesday, 09 February 2010)
Tue February 09, 2010. 05:00 AM
The drum kit has its fair share of esteemed idols: Neil Peart of Rush, Dave Grohl of Nirvana, ?uestlove of the Roots and many more. Yet drummers have always had a reputation for being unreliable and misanthropic. On today’s Soundcheck Smackdown, we debate whether the skin-bashers of the world deserve all that bashing. Guests include Janet Weiss, former drummer of Sleater-Kinney and currently of Quasi and Stephen Malkmus & the Jicks.

When she was nine years old, Priscilla Star Diaz became P-Star. At night, she rapped in lower Manhattan nightclubs. During the day, she napped in the one-room shelter in Harlem she shared with her father and sister while longing for her crack-addicted mother. Filmmaker Gabriel Noble followed her dreams and dramas for four years to make the documentary P-Star Rising. Noble and Priscilla join us to talk about the film.

Blending Music with Rehabilitation (Soundcheck: Friday, 05 February 2010)
Fri February 05, 2010. 08:01 PM
In prisons around the world, music is increasingly used as a rehabilitative tool. Carnegie Hall recently launched a program that would send musicians into facilities like Sing Sing and Riker's Island. Other programs including the nonprofit Rehabilitation through the Arts and the Scottish Arts Council are getting inmates to learn, write and perform pieces first-hand.
Today, we look at the effectiveness of arts in rehabilitation. Joining us is Emeline Michel, a Haitian musician who has performed at Rikers Island; and Katherine Vockins, founder and executive director of the nonprofit Rehabilitation Through The Arts.

Thu February 04, 2010. 05:57 PM
Melisma, the art of running many notes from one syllable, dates to Gregorian chants and Indian ragas. It was adopted by African-American churches and popularized by soul singers like Sam Cooke and Aretha Franklin. In another installment of our Thursday series, "Sing Out," we’ll find out how melisma became the singing style among American Idol contestants. We're joined by Laura Barton, columnist for the British newspaper The Guardian, and Anthony Heilbut, Grammy-award winning music producer and author of The Gospel Sound: Good News and Bad Times.

Growing Pains for Music Games (Soundcheck: Wednesday, 03 February 2010)
Wed February 03, 2010. 03:44 PM
The video game industry got good news and bad news at the end of 2009. On one hand, December was the industry's best month ever, with sales of $5.5 billion. On the other, total sales of $19.7 billion for the year were down 8 percent compared to 2008. One genre that's slumping: music games, like the much-hyped title The Beatles: Rock Band. We ask Chris Kohler, games editor for Wired.com, if plastic guitars and tiny microphones have jumped the shark.

Smackdown: The Halftime Show (Soundcheck: Tuesday, 02 February 2010)
Tue February 02, 2010. 04:46 PM
Lampooned and celebrated in equal measure, Super Bowl halftime shows are a lightning rod. Some of the biggest stars in music take the stage -- but not without controversy. Performances can be underwhelming, predictable and even censored. (Or not, in the case of Janet Jackson's wardrobe malfunction in 2004.) As The Who prepares to take the stage this Sunday, music writer Maura Johnston and Baltimore Sun sports columnist Kevin Cowherd debate live music at the Super Bowl in another Soundcheck Smackdown.

He talks about the celebrated "poet of the piano" and plays live in our studio.

Girl Power (Soundcheck: Monday, 01 February 2010)
Mon February 01, 2010. 07:22 PM
After we hear about female artists at last night's Grammy Awards, we dive into the history of women in music. In the 1990s, rock gave rise to two brands of feminism: the underground riot grrrl scene and the glitzy "girl power" of the Spice Girls. Marisa Meltzer, author of Girl Power: The Nineties Revolution in Music, tells us about the relationship between the two - and how they influence today's female stars in rock and pop.
Tell us: What did you think of riot grrrl and girl power in the '90s? What do you think of them now? Do you think they're relevant today?

Fifty Years of Mellodrama (Soundcheck: Friday, 29 January 2010)
Fri January 29, 2010. 05:07 PM
The world's first sampler might be the Mellotron, a keyboard that plays recordings of real instruments like violins and pianos. Born in the 1960s as a parlor instrument, it can be heard on recordings ranging from The Beatles’ “Strawberry Fields Forever” to Kanye West’s “Gold Digger.” We hear the story of this unusual instrument from Dianna Dilworth, director of the documentary Mellodrama: The Mellotron Movie.
