Where else can you hear a classic from The Kinks, followed by Benny Sings, followed by fresh jazz-funk cinematic sounds from LA’s Brandon Coleman? Only on KCRW, baby, where we serve up a wide spectrum of sounds on the daily, rain or shine.

Where else can you hear a classic from The Kinks, followed by Benny Sings, followed by fresh jazz-funk cinematic sounds from LA’s Brandon Coleman? Only on KCRW, baby, where we serve up a wide spectrum of sounds on the daily, rain or shine.

Also in the mix today: A case of the timeless twos. Diana Ross and Tame Impala (!) team up on “Turn Up the Sunshine” from the new Minion movie soundtrack, FKJ and Toro Y Moi join forces on “A Moment of Mystery” from the former’s forthcoming album “Vincent,” and last but not least, Anthony and Novena deliver an impromptu duet of “Telephone Song” by P’cock. They want “YOUUUU-OOOOO to win the telephone…” The reason? If you donate to KCRW before midnight, you’ll be automatically entered to win the brand new iPhone 13. Not too shabby.

Good luck and happy listening!
