Composer, pianist, activist, and shamanistic chanteuse Diamanda Galas joined Kurt Gottschalk on The Brother Lucy Show yesterday morning for an engrossing conversation about vocal music from Greece, Anatolia, and Turkmenistan. If you were sleeping in, you can still hear this special interview by clicking this link for streaming mp3 or this link for streaming RealAudio.
I can't listen right now, but I'm curious to know if her speaking voice is similar to her singing voice. Kidding, but that would make for a great YouTube parody. Maybe she could be interviewed by Harvey Fierstein.
