Question of the Day: Theme to an Imaginary Sopranos

by Corny O'Connell

We're waking up to the sad news that James Gandolfini died of a heart attack yesterday at the age of 51 while in vacation in Italy. Gandolfini was beloved for his portayal of mob boss Tony Soprano in the HBO series The Sopranos. The series was instrumental in elevating the fare of programming available not only on cable outlets, but on television as a whole. One of the hallmarks of The Sopranos was its dramatic use of music to underscore significant scenes. Today on the WFUV Question of the Day we ask for your submissions to an imaginary Sopranos soundtrack.

Meat Puppets - FUV Live - 2013

by Eric Holland

Over 30 years into their career, this veteran rock band is still just as relevant as they were when they first started, and their latest album is truly a testament to that. Frontman, Curt Kirkwood described their 14th full length album, Rat Farm as "Real Blown-Out Folk Music". We'll the band play some of those blown out folk tunes on tonight's FUV Live session. I'll also talk to Curt about the making of the new album. We were of course, rolling video of the performances, so you can check those out here too.
