A tour-de-force for the humble PCM-D50: interviews, sidewalk musical performances, traffic ambiance... a few light-hearted moments, like the guy hustling for cigarettes, along with starkly emotional vignettes, like when the mayor of Troy, Harry Tutunjian, an American of Armenian descent, speaks at the Armenian genocide rally.

And did you ever wonder what hits were "legal" in roller derby? Sonic Euthanizer lays it all out in vivid detail.

A brief synopsis: rapper Douglas Payne, Cigarette Dan, Pat Melitta and the Hip Hooligans, the Armenian rally, a banjo/trumpet duo, Mayor Tutunjian, Sonic Euthanizer, swing dance enthusiast Jason Fenton, author Jon Katz, and we wind up the night with another visit with Douglas Payne, who talks about the challenges of writing original raps.

Enjoy!
