Eavesdropping: Margaret D. Maloney '06

I look at sites like 3hive.com and listen to the Pulp Country show on

WRFN (Radio Free Nashville) to hear music that I haven’t heard before. I love good mashups, particularly the Kleptones’s “A Night at the

Hip-Hopera” and ccc’s “Revolved.” Otherwise, I just put iTunes on party shuffle and see what comes up: obscure musicals (“Blood Brothers”), Patsy Cline, the Yonder Mountain String Band, a Brazilian band called Skank, the Pillows, the Notre Dame Glee Club, the fabulousness that is 80s pop, a gay country duo called Y’ALL... My aunt and uncle are musicians (my aunt Kristi Rose started out in the New York rockabilly scene in the mid-80s; my uncle Fats Kaplin plays fiddle, guitar, banjo, pedal steel guitar, accordion) and I think their work is amazing.
