Lately I find myself fully addicted to the gorgeous sounds of KCRW, public radio from Santa Monica that I catch through iTunes. I am specifically addicted to the programs Morning Becomes Eclectic, Weekend Becomes Eclectic, New Ground and Cafe L.A.
There is a specific sound in these shows that I can't wrap a description around but some of the key artists are Inara George, Shelby Lynn, Elliot Smith, Bright Eyes, Mercury Rev, Sam Prekop, Beck, Joanna Newsome, Thievery Corp, Arcade Fire, Esthero and Mia Doi Todd. It's lovely stuff and I can't seem to listen to anything else. I've made mix CDs with some of my favorite songs just to fill the void of when I'm away from iTunes. These sounds make me want to pack my bags and head to sunny Los Angeles.
