World Cafe Playlist for 12/31/2024

Mannequin Pussy / Waxahatchee joins host Raina Douris

There aren’t a lot of opportunities in life to just scream, and that’s what Mannequin Pussy frontperson Missy Dabice was looking for when she started the band over a decade ago. There’s still screaming on the band’s latest album, I Got Heaven, but Missy will talk about how her songwriting has evolved, in one of World Cafe’s best interviews of 2024. Plus, in the second hour of World Cafe, Waxahatchee. Songwriter Katie Crutchfield reflects on looking for the perfect lines of poetry for her album, Tiger’s Blood, and why she doesn’t believe in the “tortured artist” trope.

Listen to the session here.
