NPR transition music
This is one of the reasons I love listening to NPR. They're staff is obviously very hip and they put in a great deal of "wink wink" music in between their articles.
My favorite NPR transition song moment was when they were interviewing Sally Ride and they played an instrumental version of Mustang Sally.
get it? "Ride, Sally Riiide"
totally cool.
so... what was your favorite NPR transition song?

They use Garmarna's Hildegard Von Bingen CD a lot, which is cool.

i've noticed this, too, and thought it was really cool. isn't it during one segment of theirs, specifically? like "fresh air"?
most of the stuff i really like on there i don't even know who it is. i wish there was a place online somewhere where they'd post all their transition music! they did play a clip from sigur ros a few years ago, before they got real big. i think that was the first time i had to give their transition music a double take.

Although as of late 2004, Terry Gross had never heard of "Chipmunk Punk." So debit 15 cool points.

Tom Verlaine's Warm and Cool has gotten a lot of bumper play over the years, and if you're not familiar with it, it's been reissued.

I was listening about two weeks ago, and all of a sudden I was like, woah! That is me playing drums!?!?!?
They used like three songs by the wingdale community singers, which I recorded and mixed, and wound up playing on.
Funny. I was amazed at how much the sonic fingerprint of NPR is heard even during the musical selections... What do they use?
Aphex dominator? orban optimod? NPR just sounds so unique! You know it is NPR before even hearing an ID, totally because of that sonic signature. Amazing how that has developed into a true art form over the years of broadcasting....

I know they used to cut a lot on Sonic Solutions and now use ProTools. But I don't know the broadcast chain...just sounds like less "radio station limiter" to me. Not trying to leap out at you like Jack-FM.
