If variety is the spice of life, April’s Cabinet of Wonders, the first Salon.com podcast, is the spiciest yet.
After the time-honored opening ceremony, Mr. Stace, Das Kabinettmeister, tests the sound system with a song of welcome. The Milk Carton Kids, all dry wit and breathtaking harmonies, then treat us to a profoundly beautiful three song set, sung and played into one microphone as nature intended. So taken is Janeane Garofalo by this performance, that she invites them onstage for hers: a charming interaction and a great set of comedy. Finally, for Part One, singer-songwriter extraordinaire Josh Rouse plays songs from his new record: on "Crystal Falls," he is joined by The English UK.
