Kurt Vile takes us on a tour of his beloved hometown of Philadelphia in the new video for "Never Run Away", off his excellent new album Wakin on a Pretty Daze. Directed by the elusive duo HARRYS, it's a dreamy, almost somber piece that feels oddly intimate in all of its exploratory nature.

Weekend Edition interviews Kate Atkinson about her new novel, Life After Life. "I usually try different novels. I usually start writing a novel that I then abandon.

I mean, I can hang on to a sentence for several years and then put it into a book that's completely different from the one it started in. So I think you sort of nose your way into it."

He first revealed his new album's title and artwork via a mural in downtown Philadelphia, and now he's debuted his latest single, "Never Run Away", via an adorable commercial starring his three-year-old daughter, which aired locally in Philadelphia last night.
