It’s a very freeform Friday as we lock into the groove of KCRW’s Winter Pledge drive. We’re talking side by side versions of the Digable Planets classic “Rebirth of Slick (Cool Like Dat),” vintage Blossom Dearie, a cut from Sofia Kourtesis’ latest LP Madres, and an unparalleled throwback request from Nick in Minneapolis of Bran Van 3000’s “Drinking in L.A.” Help us keep it going strong by becoming a KCRW member (or sending us a little extra something for the holidays) at kcrw.com/give.
