If you're attracted to the strange, then you must watch "The Strangest Eyes." The music video for this song, by Wasted Wine, feels like a bastard child of David Lynch and Nick Cave. There's humor, but damn it's dark.

Wasted Wine is from Taylors, South Carolina. You can hear the southern drawl in the band's sound but there's also strands of Eastern European and Romani music and a taste of John Lennon's "Workingman's Hero." This song, "The Strangest Eyes," comes from an album called Wasted Wine vs. The Hypnosis Center. You can hear more of their eclectic dark and fun sound here.

In 1988, a determined Bob Boilen started showing up on NPR's doorstep every day, looking for a way to contribute his skills in music and broadcasting to the network. His persistence paid off, and within a few weeks he was hired, on a temporary basis, to work for All Things Considered. Less than a year later, Boilen was directing the show and continued to do so for the next 18 years.
