The Lit Show

"Kevin May, of The Guggenheim Grotto, was recently interviewed on the highly proclaimed college radio station WNUR 89.3 FM as part of The Lit Show (as in 'literature'). As the name implies, the show invites authors onto the show for readings and informal interviews. Recently, The Lit Show has featured such notable writers as Margaret Atwood, Susan Orlean, and former U.S. Poet Laureate Billy Collins. WNUR 89.3 is the nation's farthest-reaching college radio station, and was recently named Spin Magazine's 'U.S. College Radio Station of the Year'. So not only was it a huge compliment for Kevin to be invited to speak, but he is also the first songwriter they've ever had on the show. The interview is now available to download from the The Lit Show ." - From The Guggenheim Website


"
I know a lot of the songs that I write are love songs, and for a long while I beat myself up about it because I just thought I was being very unoriginal. Eventually I came to the conclusion that the reason love is the greatest theme is that when you're in a relationship, your senses are so heightened, you're lifted out of the banal, you notice more and you see more details. I think that it's within that idea of a relationship that you learn a lot more about yourself because it's far more dramatic (than normal life) - that's why I write love songs." - Kevin May
