Here's something fun I learned about from Salon.com's music critic, Thomas Bartlett.
Providence, RI radio station WBSR has a segment called "Phoning It In," where indie rock people give live performances over the phone and have "awkward conversation," according to the website. I guess so far they've had John Darnielle of the Mountain Goats, Jolie Holland, and Phil Elvrum of the Microphones/Mt. Eerie. How fun. They're streamed here.
