The Alabama Shakes "American Dream" questions whether it's become the impossible dream
KCRW’s signature music program — defying format since 1977.

If there’s an online petition anywhere to officially lock in Mar. 3 (3/3) as International De La Soul Day, send it over cause we’re signing. We all know that three is “The Magic Number,” and with the bulk of the cheeky hip-hop auteurs catalog at last available on streaming platforms as of 3/3/23 — today’s their day, and that should remain in perpetuity.
But there’s more to today’s show than De La updates. Kali Uchis’ (scorching) hotly anticipated LP Red Moon in Venus has dropped and we’re dishing out multiple servings from it. Plus, Princess Nokia’s latest, “lo siento,” more love for the late great Wayne Shorter, and your chance to snag a free live version of The Rolling Stones disco anthem “Miss You.”
