Right now: K Sanneh on NY NPR-station repeat airing of Brian Lehrer hour. Topic: rockism. K is playing Fabolous "Breathe," revels in telling Brian Lehrer it samples Supertramp.

Mandy Moore's session guitarist calls in, is anti commercial production, rants against the process of making commercial beats and slapping them on a video with good choreography. K responds: "I hope Mandy's not listening."

BEST PART: Show's ending. Brian Lehrer winkily says, "We've been here with Kelefa Sanneh, Pop Critic of the New York Times. He's a rock star in our book.. or whatever the next generation will call you." K, with his signature glee, exclaims, "I wanna be an R&B star!"
