Happy Public Radio Music Day! We’re celebrating KCRW fave Meshell Ndegeocello (whose portrait hangs just outside the studio from which we broadcast) with her striking cover of the 1985 classic “Tender Love” by Force MD.

The track “I Felt a Funeral, in My Brain” just dropped, a rare duet that finds Andrew Bird teaming up with Phoebe Bridgers for a haunting reimagining of Emily Dickinson's poem. The project was initially meant to be part of Bird’s "Inside Problems" album, but didn't quite make the cut. Bird was reinspired to release it upon hearing Bridgers' contribution.

Turn up your volume for the hard driving, unexpected, and dare we say spooky cut from the “Godzilla” soundtrack by Belvera Lean, “Miyarabi's Prayer” (Paul Nice Flip). Then slow down and relax with classic Stevie on “Isn’t She Lovely,” reworked by Young Pulse — long, luscious, and the perfect complement to your Wednesday.

Lastly, listen in for a fantastic Today’s Top Tune courtesy of Vieux Farka Touré & Khruangbin, and another double giveaway for you on this humpday! The Dip will be live at the Belasco on Friday, Nov. 11, and on Nov. 12, it’s our very first FREAKS ONLY x KCRW Presents show with Braxe + Falcon at the El Rey. Five pairs x two shows = TEN PAIRS. Enter here, and good luck!
