Taken By Trees live on KEXP today at 2PM PST

February 26th, 2010 by Jeremy G

If you can pull yourself away from the straight pummeling the US Hockey team is inflicting upon the poor Finnish, click your mouse over to KEXP’s website to check out a live session from Sweden’s Taken By Trees. Victoria Bergsman and her crew drove for days to reach Seattle in time for the session, braving the weather and, er, Montana truck stops to showcase their wares. The least you could do is tune in. As a reminder, if you’re in SeaTac, KEXP can be found on 90.3 on your FM tuner.

Basia Bulat’s current tour takes her through Minneapolis tonight for a show at the Cedar Cultural Center. Tickets are still available, but those of you too cash-strapped, too tired, or too not-in-Minneapolis to see Basia live can enjoy her through the magic of the radio. Radio K will be hosting a live radio session with the prodigiously talented Ms. Bulat today at 5:15 EST/4:15 CST. Residents of the Twin Cities area have so many options to listen it hurts: 104.5FM, 100.7FM, 106.5FM or 770AM, plus they can be like the rest of us non-Minneapolitans and listen online at radiok.cce.umn.edu.

Also, I hate to sully this post by bringing up money, but Basia’s newest album, Heart Of My Own, is yours for the taking at several very reasonable price points if you visit our webstore.

Don’t miss St. Vincent live on KCRW’s Morning Becomes Eclectic today

February 10th, 2010 by Jeremy G

KCRW’s fund drive has just finished, but that won’t stop Annie Clark from invading the studio for a Morning Becomes Eclectic session today at 11:15AM PST/2:15 EST. Tune in on 89.9FM (and the assorted repeater frequencies) in Southern California or online and listen to St. Vincent work through songs from Actor, with perhaps a surprise or two thrown in for good measure. And if you haven’t seen the stellar video for the new single “Laughing With A Mouth Of Blood” (starring Fred Armisen and Sleater-Kinney’s Carrie Brownstein, as well as Annie herself), you should definitely click through on that, as it’s pretty much good times for all.

Catch The xx live on World Cafe today at 2PM EST

January 29th, 2010 by Jeremy G


Although London’s The xx haven’t been in the US since December, luckily we got the stellar trio into WXPN to record a World Cafe session at the end of last year. And, again, luckily that session is due to air today at 2PM EST. Tune in on 88.5 on regular old radio or online at XPN.org. It’s sure to be worth your while and will help to stave off your xx hunger until the band returns in March.
