Title: Studio 360: Spy Fiction, Disco Revolution
Author: Kurt Andersen
Format: Original Recording
Length: 52 mins
Language: English
Release date: 07-17-10
Publisher: WNYC New York and Public Radio International
Genres: Radio & TV, Great Interviews
Publisher's Summary:
Spies are in the news again, but they've been in Alan Furst's fiction for over 20 years. His new novel, Spies of the Balkans, is his 11th work of World War II-era espionage fiction. The book has been getting great reviews, but Furst tells Kurt he has no idea what he did right he actually teleports to another time and place when he sits down at the typewriter.
Next, a bucket of water, a piece of sheet metal, and a cactus. Just the average instrument checklist for Treasure State, a new collaboration between the bands Matmos and So Percussion. Performing live in the studio, they show Kurt how they use ordinary objects to make not-so-ordinary music.
Then, disco is supposedly dead, but University of Southern California professor Alice Echols tells Kurt it's very much alive in the pop music we hear today. Echols' new book is Hot Stuff: Disco and the Remaking of American Culture.
Finally, while the economy decays, there's no shortage of work for belly dancers in Detroit. The city has one of the largest Arab populations outside of the Middle East and a vast network of dancers. Martina Guzman explores the belly dance scene and the conflicts the community has about their own young women performing publicly. [Broadcast Date: July 17, 2010]
