We try to share a broad range of genres and styles on All Songs Considered, but we inevitably miss a lot of great stuff. So, for this edition of the program, we've invited a few other NPR Music producers to talk about some of the music they're loving right now. Frannie Kelley is our resident expert on hip-hop; Lars Gotrich specializes in, well, we're not really sure what you call it, but "metal" or "noise" is probably pretty close; and Patrick Jarenwattananon is all about jazz. (You can read his regular ramblings at A Blog Supreme). Here, the three chat with host Bob Boilen and share new music from Big Boi, The Claudia Quintet, Indignant Senility and more.
