Expedition Catalog - what new specimens shall we discover?

For the July 7th show (click here for podcast), I strapped on my gear and went exploring deep into the KXUA catalog to find some new-to-me music that was somehow linked to nature - whether it be in a name, in a theme, whatever. I had some interesting finds, including artists such as Papercranes, Wilderness, I See Hawks in L.A., The Bamboos, The Weather Machines, and more! Give a listen to the show to discover this music along with me.


In the news...

• Whales shout over noise pollution
• Early Britons could cope with cold
• Gulf Coast dead zone - it's coming

For the sound quiz, we heard from some of the "singing" insects whose sounds fill the still, humid air of summer. Visit musicofnature.org for all about how a handsome meadow katydid (pictured right) doesn't actually sing, but instead produces sound through stridulation.
