\"moon<\/a>It’s been awhile since I’ve made time to listen to Morning Becomes Eclectic<\/a>, the flagship program of Santa Monica’s public radio station, KCRW<\/a>. But I credit that program with broadening my taste in contemporary music.<\/p>\n

I especially enjoy the program’s in-studio concerts<\/a>. That link will take you to a page of the most recent concerts. Browse it and I guarantee you’ll find new music you like. (Also some that won’t be your cup of tea.)<\/p>\n

Since I last visited, they’ve upgraded their website so that you can now embed many of these performances. (They’ve got budget. Last pledge drive I listened to, Ted Danson called in. They raised more in one break than the entire pledge drive of our local public radio station.)<\/p>\n

I first fell in love with the Ditty Bops<\/a> when I watched this concert. They’re very artsy, very green (they started an LA-to-NY tour the next day via bicycle, which I followed on their blog) and their harmonies ooze sweetness. Creative videos and concert footage on YouTube<\/a>, including a performance for an audience of goats.<\/a><\/p>\n

I suspect that this will be the first in a series.<\/p>\n

From May 2006 in-studio. Don’t miss the shadow-puppet show.<\/p>\n
