Lovely performance today by Radio Free Earth, a husband and wife folk duo, Josh and Kim Wachtel, from up the road in Plainfield. We decided the best way to go was for them to run for 4-5 songs at a time, which is the best way to go. Me the hell out of the way. They played for an hour; we had the window open in the studio and Myong said you could here them loud and clear out on the street. Cool. Radio Free Earth was fun, smart, socially conscious w/o being stupid about it, and they really sounded great in the headphones. They'll be back, I hope.
