Tune into KCRW (I'm listening online) as they celebrate 30 years of Morning Becomes Eclectic all day today.

Hosts: Chris Douridas, Nic Harcourt, Tom Schnabel
All three Morning Becomes Eclectic hosts from the last three decades will produce three-hour specials of live performances and choice master recordings that define their musical journey. The hosts will feature the artists whose lives they changed and the artists whose music changed them including; David Bowie, Little Richard, Willie Nelson, Dido, Burt Bacharach, Fela Kuti, Gillian Welch, and the Flaming Lips.

Those of you not already familiar with KCRW can read more about the station here. Morning Becomes Eclectic, curated by Nic Harcourt, is one of the few remaining radio programs that discovers and supports great music. Check out MBE's archives for streaming audio and video of live performances by some amazing bands. Just in the last six weeks they've hosted several artists I love including Bat For Lashes, Glen Hansard & Marketa Irglova (aka The Swell Season), Spoon, Crowded House and more. You can also add KCRW to your Vox neighborhood.

Funny, I've had it on this morning as well.

[this is good]

This is the first I've ever heard of it. Thanks for the link.

I usually have it on through iTunes radio in the mornings so I get a little news, a little music. The funny part comes when I forget that it's out of Southern California, and I get worried about the traffic on the 405 or tell friends about concerts that are coming (there, not here) or think the weather is going to be sunny all the time...

I just added a little more explanation to my post about why I <3 KCRW. I'm really bad at explaining myself sometimes -- oh right, you can't hear the thoughts going through my head, I ought to write them down. :)

It would be so great to hear the thoughts going on in your head. I'd subscribe to that RSS in an instant. ;-)

I have MBE to thank for my being the kid with the cool alternative taste in music in university (not hard when you go to school in New Brunswick...but still). So good!

Thanks for the heads up on the stream today – I’ll be listening!
