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.

Swedish artist Miynt has arrived with a hearty dose of summer optimism and psych rock textures to get your week started on the right note. And the good feelings keep on flowing, with electric soul straight from the Sudanese coast on Noori & His Dorpa Band’s debut single “Al Amal.” Plus, you’ll hear the latest jam from the Black Keys whose 11th (!) album “Dropout Boogie” arrives this Friday.
We’re in the midst of KCRW’s Spring Drive and today we have a $10,000 challenge grant from Renee Haas and KCRW Board Member Paul Haas. Help keep the turntables spinning with any amount, and your dollars will be doubled!
