A mix of all kinds, from all over and all time.

KCRW Broadcast 94
Tonight we revel in jams of immense diversity and density. We start both hours with Black Sabbath just to prove a point that we can and also because it is so liberating to hear the thunder of Tony Iommi’s guitar ring through the halls of Tha K. I encourage you to crank it up and do damage. Please note that our second track of the evening features one Sam Ireland on vocals, one of the mightier female vocalists in independent music and a tremendous live performer. Die Cheerleader, great band, Son of Filth, great album...

You will see that we have proven incapable of staying away from the Dylan mono or the Marnie Stern. I am unable to apologize for our repetitive behavior because the songs are just too good to leave alone. I doubt that we shall ever recover. New on the show is the Coathangers, an Engineer X turn on, very cool. A new album by The Telephone Company called Panda Brain! gets a track hurled onto the airwaves. Drag City kindly sent me a copy of the Dwarr Animals album, which gets a bit of play this evening. You might want to some reading up on Duane Warr, the album’s creator, it’s an intense story that makes the album all that more interesting. Drag City consistently releases great stuff.
One of the bands I keep a close eye on, Buck Gooter, have released a new album which we jam tonight. For more info: www.buckgooter.tk. The two man band threatens to release their first vinyl next year.
Yes, more of the Iggy/Williamson, it’s too good to leave at home. I have been playing the vinyl version all week and it’s so great what has been accomplished on the re-mix. I just got a copy of the Brazilian Guitar Fuzz Bananas album and have not had the chance to explore it all that deeply but tonight’s track is the first one that jumped out at me. We will be back to visit this one again. The Swans track we are enjoying tonight comes from a live show that I was witness to in the year of 1986. One of the best shows I have ever seen. Thankfully, a tape recorder was on to document the experience that would have been relegated to a tall tale losing signal in the ever thickening mists of time. Whoa.
Oh, look, it’s more Black Sabbath to start us out on our second hour. How did that happen? It is the response to the call that tonight’s first track issued. In fact, the entire hour is in tribute to one of the great superstars of the last century. I will leave you with this great music and the hope that you will join us at 89.9 KCRW as we drop it from a great height.
Listen with breakneck speed and STAY FANATIC!!!

Live on KCRW
Live on KCRW is KCRW’s performance series featuring artists recorded live at our Santa Monica studios. From emerging acts to established voices, the series offers artists a space to present their music in an intimate setting that puts the focus on performance, sound, and personality.
Morning Becomes Eclectic
KCRW’s signature music program and the heart of its eclectic sound, Morning Becomes Eclectic brings together new discoveries, timeless recordings, live performances, and conversations with artists shaping music today. Hosted by Novena Carmel, the show moves freely across genres, eras, and borders with curiosity as its compass, creating unexpected connections between the familiar and the unknown. For nearly five decades, MBE has made discovery part of the daily ritual while keeping its ears firmly tuned to what comes next. Tune in on weekdays from 9am to noon.
Peanut Butter Wolf
Peanut Butter Wolf goes deep into a lifetime of collecting, pulling from more than 50,000 records alongside a digital archive packed with unreleased music and overlooked discoveries. The founder of Stones Throw Records favors the underdog, moving through hip-hop, funk, soul, electronic music, oddball records, rarities, and sounds that resist easy categorization. Inspired by generations of adventurous DJs and selectors, the show treats digging as an art form and the unexpected find as the ultimate reward. Tune in every third Sunday of the month from 8 to 10pm.
SiLVA
A dance-forward mix that moves freely between house, disco, boogie, electronic music, global club sounds, and plenty in between. SiLVA’s sets are built for Saturday night, mixing new tracks, classics, edits, and deep cuts without getting boxed into one genre. The emphasis is on movement, surprise, and keeping the energy alive from one record to the next. Tune in to SiLVA Saturday evenings from 6 to 8pm.
Jason Bentley's Metropolis
Metropolis captures the hypnotic pulse of modern city life through electronic music built for movement, atmosphere, and late-night discovery. Jason Bentley connects current releases with foundational tracks, remixes, underground club sounds, and artists continually reshaping the possibilities of dance music. House, techno, electronic pop, and leftfield productions move together in a fluid weekly journey that reflects both the history and the evolving future of the dance floor. Sophisticated, immersive, and always looking ahead. Tune in to Metropolis Saturday nights from 8 to 10pm.
