Phoning It In

I've just discovered this, and I can't quite believe it's been going on as long as it has under my radar. So, in my inimitable style, I'm going to burble on about it like you should all take a listen.

But you know, you should.

So what's it all about? Let them explain...
"lo-fi is the right fi: dj talksonthephone calls up all your favorite musicians for live over-the-phone performances and awkward conversation." 
Phoning It In is a radio program whose flagship show is broadcast on 88.1fm BSR in Providence, RI (where it's hosted by Gabe) and whose satellite show is broadcast on 88.1fm WMBR in Cambridge, MA (where it's hosted by Nadav). You can listen to every single past show from both stations in the Archives.
Yup. Live sessions over the phone. It's a genius idea. 346 sessions online. Get in there and listen. Phoning It In!

Stop press: given the title of this blog, this is a must: Jens Lekman at 1am Swedish time, in the bath, with a kalimba and a dying phone battery. Touching, cute and just plain funny.
