La, la, la, la, la, la....Love is strange.

A newly remastered version of the Wings song "Love Is Strange" from their 1971 album "Wild Life". This was remastered from the original UK CD, which like the original vinyl album has way too much treble. The EQ is mostly improved although there is still some sibilance of the vocals. Written by Mickey Baker, Ethel Smith and Sylvia Vanderpool.

Paul McCartney: lead vocals, backing vocals, bass guitar, electric guitar
Linda McCartney: lead vocals, backing vocals, organ
Denny Laine: lead guitar
Denny Seiwell: drums, percussion overdub

Interviews We Love :: Carl Sagan on Extraterrestrials

The incomprehensible vastness of the universe, the wonder of our own place in it all… Carl Sagan was able to explain the science of space in a way everyone could understand.

"A literal reading of the Bible simply is a mistake; I mean it’s just wrong" - Carl Sagan on October 4, 1985, as told to Studs Terkel.

The incomprehensible vastness of the universe, the wonder of our own place in it all… Carl Sagan was able to explain the science of space in a way everyone could understand.

Among his long list of roles and accomplishments, the Cornell professor and NASA advisor is possibly best known for the 13-part television series, Cosmos, which reached millions of people worldwide and sealed his place as celebrity scientist. Maybe he was teased a bit for his tendency to say “billions”, a lot. 

But Carl Sagan had this amazing talent for explaining the scientific wonders of the universe without losing the wonder. When he spoke about the science of space, he captured imaginations and held people in thrall.

As part of our special series, The Experimenters -- we’re uncovering interviews with the icons of science, technology, and innovation -- we found this conversation between Studs Terkel and Carl Sagan in the WFMT Studs Terkel Radio Archive. Following “Contact,” the book he wrote with wife Ann Druyan - and the major motion picture that followed it -- Carl Sagan spoke with Studs all about our continuing search for intelligent life out there, including how, for a long time, Hollywood just got it wrong. Here’s the tape.

Support for this series comes from PRX and The Alfred P. Sloan Foundation
