I'm a big fan of NPR and its local stations, KCRW and KPCC, which are both in constant rotation in my car. I visited NPR West last month to record an interview for All Things Considered, which aired on October 30. My new book had just come out, and it was an absolute dream to talk to Ailsa Chang about it and hear the interview air on my commute a week later. A life experience I will never forget. The offices were cool, though most of my time was spent alone in a recording booth. It seems like someone on this page was disappointed there was nothing in place to cater to NPR fans and tourists, but that didn't surprise me. This seemed more like a place for L.A. area employees and guests, to facilitate programming from a hub in a large West Coast city. I had guest parking with my name on it in the lot, and I geekily took a picture that I will treasure for all time. It was an honor and a pleasure to visit NPR West. I'm a regular listener and supporter, and I'd be at least 10% stupider if it weren't for public radio.

I can only find five listenable L.A. commercial radio stations including, grudgingly, easy-listening 94.7 The Wave, in case of a miracle. But memory button #1 is set at 88.9, public radio from Loyola Marymount University in Westchester. To me, a sporadic indie-music listener, almost everything KXLU plays is uncommon, refreshing, and a hopeful note for music's present and future. Some of the DJs are noticeably underripe, but it's fun to hear young broadcasters as they develop their air personas. The station streams live on kxlu.com, and could broaden one's tastes with its variety of specialty programs, some including "noise music" (Oh, how I wish a radio station would have played that back in the homework days). TIME-WARP DIALOG...Mom: "What's that NOISE you're listening to?" Young KXLU Listener: "Noise, mom." International music consists of mostly Latin titles as played on its durable weekend fixture, "Alma del Barrio," bringing to mind loitering over empty pitchers of sangria at Venice Boulevard's Versailles Cuban restaurant. After a lengthy listening hiatus, it was a delight to find an old favorite, Reverend Dan, still hosting "Music for Nimrods," a program in the spirit of '70s phenoms Frazer Smith, Rodney Bingenheimer (both on KROQ) and Dr. Demento (KPPC, KMET); a bonanza of old, new, rare and novelty tracks, and DJ patter nimbly fitted to end with his production-music backing tune. It's a great segue into a Saturday hangover (3-6 a.m.). My recent return to KXLU, due to disgust at blocks of radio commercials with occasional rock-music interruptions, has me hoping it won't be necessary to again work the TEAC remote's memory buttons--except for maybe #3, The Wave.

He restored…read morerock'n'roll oldies to the Los Angeles market's AM dial (streaming at laoldies.com) in 2017 after removing it in 2011 for a classical music format. Levine, 93 years old, runs his independent station with scarce-if-any commercial interruptions, and his largesse is what makes K-Surf an oasis of the airwaves. In what is predominantly an automated format, the station has live DJs in control from 6-10 a.m. and noon-6 p.m. weekdays, and several features during the week that depart the routine. DJs are unobtrusive, announcing titles/artists and tossing in sometimes-surprising factoids. For instance, did you know that the twangy stringed instrument in B.J. Thomas' hit, "Hooked on a Feeling," is a sitar? To how many listeners might that have occurred some 50 years ago when the tune was in heavy rotation? K-Surf twice a week presents Dick Clark's archived syndicated program, "Rock Roll & Remember," and can be counted-on every Saturday night for six hours of disco memories, actually absence-heart-fonder fun. On the downside, the hour-long weekday news show, "This Morning: America's First News," breaks into the music at 4 a.m. and, what the heck, it never hurts to hear some news before you prep to slay those dragons. However, when the program ends, the oldies resume, and only one-and-a-half tunes play before a nearly identical news encore intrudes. Only other nit to pick is intermittent glitches in the signal (or computer?); only an instant of dead air, but annoyingly frequent when present. Monaural 50s-60s-70s music on AM radio possesses a certain throwback appeal. It sometimes sounds tinny, fuzzy or staticky, just as it did when the songs were new, listened-to on rudimentary, AM-only car radios and hand-held, Japanese-manufactured "transistors." That's the way it was until the rise of the FM band--and people LIKED it! The music transmitted rose above the obstacles then, and still does now.
