Usually, when National Public Radio attempts to cover indie rock, I writhe in pain and vicarious shame (Stick to the grammar games, Liane Hansen. Please!). However, tomorrow’s “All Songs Considered” will happily unite two of my great loves: weekday NPR and Connor Oberst from Bright Eyes. According to Pitchfork, Oberst is hosting tomorrow’s show, which means he’ll be spinning tracks from Bright Eyes’ upcoming album, Cassadaga, which is due out April 10, as well as some of his favorite classics.
Updatde: If you miss the radio appearance, Cassadaga is now streaming on Saddle Creek’s site.
