But wait there is more: you will even have a chance to win that Gonzales CD and new music will be spun from The Tiny, Sea Wolf, Alex& Sam and a track inspired by the Tate Modern’s Rothko collection.

The Signal with Pat Carrabré - Sunday, JUNE 8, 2008
Tonight Pat features a concert by Pulitzer Prize winning composer George Crumb including the stunning piece Black Angels. Inspired by the beat poetry of Ginsberg and Kerouac, Pat has dug up a wide range of pieces that riff on the spoken word. Stepping up to the mic will be Montreal’s D. Kimm, Laurie Anderson, Winnipeg’s Poor Tree and Halifax’s Buck 65 to name a few. The evening will also include a work inspired by the poetry of Leonard Cohen by composer Kelly- Marie Murphy. Basically it is an evening of talk radio.
