      <title>BLK JKS</title>
      <description><![CDATA[On this edition of World Cafe Words and Music from WXPN, BLK JKS bring music from their debut, "After Robots." Although they hail from South Africa, BLK JKS' noise rock style stands out from the sounds traditionally coming out of Johannesburg, which was initially a problem for this band. The foursome had trouble landing gigs in their hometown until a fortuitous encounter with hit DJ, Diplo, who helped bring them to global attention. In this interview, the group discusses the challenges of working in South Africa's current musical landscape, and how growing up in the wake of Apartheid is reflected in their music.]]></description>

      <title>Moby "Wait for Me"</title>
      <description><![CDATA[Moby showcases his latest project, "Wait for Me," on this edition of World Cafe Words and Music from WXPN. A pioneer of techno and dance music, Moby helped to bring the genres to mainstream attention throughout the '90s, as evidenced by his last album, "Play," the best selling electronica album ever. "Wait for Me" was recorded in his bedroom on the lower east side, and Moby attests it's a quieter and more melodic affair than much of his previous work. He'll explain the grounds for this divergence during the interview and plays a brand new song, "One Time We Lived."]]></description>

      <title>Sondre Lerche</title>
      <description><![CDATA[Norwegian singer-songwriter Sondre Lerche joins host David Dye on this edition of World Cafe Words & Music from WXPN. A formally trained guitarist by age nine, and composer and recording artist in his teen years, Lerche was poised to take on the pop world by 2001 when his debut, "Faces Down," went gold in his native country almost overnight. The Scandinavian talent then relocated to the U.S. to record his new album, "Heartbeat Radio," which finds him tapping the spirit of jazz, psych-folk, and of course, his loyal muse, '80s pop. In this interview, Lerche talks about playing with artists like Elvis Costello and A-ha, one of his favorites, and his vital contribution to the film "Dan In Real Life."]]></description>

      <title>Patterson Hood</title>
      <description><![CDATA[On this edition of World Cafe Words and Music from WXPN, founding member of the Drive-By Truckers, Patterson Hood, stops by in support of his sophomore solo release. Hood wrote the music for "Murdering Oscar (and Other Love Songs)" fifteen years ago, but his personal art was put on the backburner while focusing on a distinctly brighter style with his acclaimed southern rock outfit. When he recently stumbled upon the old original recordings, they took on new meaning and fostered an album that paints a very personal reflection on love and loss. In this interview, Hood talks with host David Dye about the sorrowful stage in his life that influenced many of the songs on "Murdering Oscar" and what it was like to collaborate for the first time with his father, David Hood, a former fixture of the Muscle Shoals Sound Studios.]]></description>

      <title>David Bazan</title>
      <description><![CDATA[David Dye welcomes David Bazan on this edition of World Cafe Words and Music from WXPN. Over the course of ten prolific years with the Christian indie rock band Pedro The Lion, Bazan released numerous critically-acclaimed group albums until his burdensome drinking broke the momentum. In 2006 Bazan re-emerged with vigor as a solo artist, earning a spot on Paste Magazine's "100 Best Songwriters" list. His new disc, "Curse Your Branches," exemplifies Bazan's gift for evocative songwriting. In this interview he discusses his struggles with faith and substance abuse, his relationship with the Christian community, and his conscious effort to break away from moral oscillation on this album.]]></description>
