So most of you know I am a big fan of KCRW (to the point I send my NPR money to them, not our local station). I am also a huge U2 fan. So I was quite surprised to hear this very odd cover of U2’s Desire (one of my favorites). It was odd.
Pride by Nouvell Vague from their Bande a Part album (iTunes link)
[Updated] I ended up buying the album. Cool stuff.
I like podcasts; I like KCRW; I really like Morning Becomes Eclectic. So when I saw the title "Morning Becomes Eclectic now available as podcast" I was really excited. Then I read that it would only be selected segments only including unsigned artists. That is still cool,but so far from the full potential. Oh well, maybe the record companies will finally remove their heads from their asses at some point (or not).
I will just have to continue to listen to the show live via iTunes or get back to working out a good way to rip the streams directly.
43 Folders: Morning Becomes Eclectic now available as podcast
I just got three new CDs, so I thought I’d post theme here among the other stuff. I’m listening to the Bloc Part EP right now. I heard the main track, Banquet, included in the free BitTorrent download that SXSW offered for all the artists performing this year. This download was free and included over 750 songs (2.6 GBs) from all variety of artists. Very cool.
The Thievery Corporation CD, Cosmic Game, was a given, I have loved all of their work since I first heard them in DC at the ACLU Members conference two years ago. I had heard a few tracks via KCRW and I wasn’t disappointed.
The last CD, Phantascope by Anubian Lights, I honestly don’t remember where I heard it. My guess would be KCRW, as that is where I hear almost all of the new and progressive stuff I do (not much in the way of that from VA stations).
So, there you have it. Let me know if you actually want to hear any of this stuff
