For as much as the election has dominated the news this year, the political cycle hasn't invaded the world of All Songs Considered. But this week we've got a remarkable cut by the band that's all about Donald Trump. "Are These My Jets?" is from , an online compilation album that features a new song by a new artist every day for the final thirty days leading up to the election. (For the record, NPR is not endorsing any candidate. We just like the song!)

A couple of other things about this week's show: NPR Music's Lars Gotrich joins us to talk about the stellar return of the band , a beloved '90s group that's putting out its first new album in 17 years; and another popular artist from the '90s, (who you may know from the band Throwing Muses), is back with an incredible double album full of sonic wonders.

All that plus a new single from Bob's favorite band of 2013, , and the ruminations of singer .

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.
