Anniversary of Nirvana's critically acclaimed debut and a summer jam in anticipation of forthcoming Jamiroquai
KCRW’s signature music program — defying format since 1977.

What were you up to on this day exactly 10 years ago? Seeing as you’re a KCRW super fan, there’s a very good chance that you were grooving along to Chet Faker’s electrifying MBE live session from the halcyon days of the KCRW basement. Relive the good times with us as we share a cut from that session during this edition of MBE. Plus, the excellently titled post-punk stylings of The The’s new single, “Cognitive Dissident.”

KCRW’s Resident DJ is a sonic laboratory where artists are invited to reinvent, reimagine, and lean into their most eclectic, creative impulses. Resident DJ airs every Thursday night/Friday morning from midnight to 1 a.m. PT, and can be streamed anytime on the KCRW app. Just in time for Pride Month, Hercules & Love Affair will be our Resident DJ for June 2026.
