The Radio Station that Will Change your Life

... If it hasn't already.



Based in Los Angeles, KCRW's program "Morning Becomes Eclectic," has already introduced the world to bands such as Beck, Fiona Apple, Coldplay, Dido, and Norah Jones (among many many others).

A Church Party Unlike Any Other - San Francisco's Episco Disco


Grace Cathedral is a landmark of such size that you would doubtedly miss if you ever find yourself in San Francisco's Nob Hill district. Set among old school hotels, fancy dog parks, rich old ladies, and pre-war brick apartment buildings, the huge Episcopal cathedral towers magnificently above the daily San Franciscan fog.

Every Sunday the neighborhood is filled with the sound of ringing bells calling crowds to mass. Every morning the streets are filled with children's laughter from the playground of the all boys' school held on the premises.

Once a month, however, the cathedral halls and arched ceilings reflect a very different kind of sound -- the funk beat  from a DJ spinning behind huge speakers set up right next to the Holy Water basin (which is conveniently located next to a make-shift bar). You heard me right.
