KCRW’s signature music program — defying format since 1977.
We welcome fall with cozy autumn selections from Laura Veirs, Yo La Tengo, and more. We hear an exclusive KCRW live version of an indie classic from a Swedish indie rock trio. Speaking of Sweden, two Swedish KCRW favorites unite as our new #1 on the Top 30 chart. We also celebrate the 80th birthday of one of the first African pop musicians to gain international success, and a Pioneer of juju sound in Nigeria.

Resident DJ
Immersion (Colin Newman and Malka Spigel) are our Resident DJs for October 2026.
Tyler "Boogie" Boudreaux
Part wax, part digital, pure heat. Tyler “Boogie” Boudreaux channels KCRW’s eclectic sound through a kaleidoscope of psych, garage rock, soul, funk, and indie sounds. Vintage records collide with new releases, while house, indie dance, post-punk, trip-hop, darkwave, and unexpected detours keep the boundaries loose. The common thread is energy, groove, and discovery, with one hand in the crates and the other firmly planted in what’s happening now. Tune in to Tyler’s show Thursday nights from 8 to 10pm.
