Short Songs (with Tasha Solomita)

Follow us on Twitter for show news and more.

There's something pretty wonderful about a piece of music that says everything it means to in under two minutes — a piece that somehow satisfies its listeners while managing to leave them wanting more. There's also something great about a highly-recognizable song that addresses a specific category of leisure attire. If that has you scratching your head, you'll definitely want to either read on or jump right to the episode.

For Episode 53 of our podcast, Themes and Variation, Carter and Mahea sat down with New York-based singer, songwriter, and incredible person we're glad to call friend, Tasha Solomita to discuss "Short Songs" (or as one of us chose to hear it, "Shorts Songs").

The episode is anchored by selections from the catalogs of a chamber ensemble group called the Pixies, an experimental woodwind orchestra known as the Beatles, and an avant-garde electronic jazz quartet that goes by the Royal Teens. No, we're just kidding. It's an all rock episode.
