Andreas Gripp is the host. The show originally began in 2000.
You'll hear underground sounds in several forms: alternative folk & singer-songwriters, chamber pop, ambient electronic, dream pop, and whatever else might fit the mood of the program.
Some of the artists you're likely to hear on Life in Plastic:
Sufjan Stevens, The Innocence Mission, The Cannanes, Belle & Sebastian, The Cat's Miaow, Broadcast, The American Analog Set, Mahogany, Paula Frazer, Ken Reaume, The Brian Jonestown Massacre, Mean Red Spiders, Stereolab, Mus, Great Lake Swimmers, Manual, Blonde Redhead, Galaxie 500, Maps, Mariee Sioux, and lots more, but that should give you a rough idea of the general sound.
