On Wednesday, April 20, at 11:40 a.m., the Rock Snobs themselves, David Kamp and Steven Daly, will pay a brief visit to The Brian Lehrer Show on WNYC, that titan of New York City public radio. Be sure to tune in (93.9 FM, 820 AM) and hear Brian snob it up with the boys. No word on whether or not Morning Edition’s mellifluous Soterios Johnson, who actually went to high school with one of the Rock Snobs, will stop by. April 19, 2005 More Rock Snobbery »

Dobro. Brand name for a family of hollow-bodied, heavily ornamented resonator guitars developed in California in the 1920s. Long beloved by country, blues, and bluegrass players for their metallic, extra-twangy sound and gorgeous circular cover plates, Dobros are increasingly valued by rock-country hybridists like Wilco, Ryan Adams, and Lucinda Williams, especially the square-necked models, which afford a musician the priceless roots-sensitive visual opportunity to play a guitar horizontally in one’s lap.
