KCRW’s signature music program — defying format since 1977.

Welcome to the Morning Becomes Eclectic Podcast, we hope your dial goes to eleven because it's going to get loud.
First we feature the full debut session from Ty Segall. This young guitar virtuoso has already released eight studio albums and his latest, Manipulator, is a classic, all-out assault on guitar amps everywhere. We’re really excited about Ty and pleased to offer up his full set on this podcast.
On the second half of the podcast we’ll feature internationally recognized rock-royalty, Chrissie Hynde. The founder and leader of the seminal English-American group The Pretenders released her debut solo album, Stockholm, just last year. While she’s replaced some of the signature uptempo sounds from the chart-topping days of the Pretenders, her voice and guitar work are as recognizable as ever.
