A few weeks back I was fortunate to attend an evening KCRW session at Bob Clearmountain’s Apogee Berkeley Studio. With Father’s Office pouring the suds and Manu Chao entertaining an audience of roughly 100, if that, the mood was festive indeed. Tom Schnabel managed to get a few questions in to Chao, who had to shift more than a couple of lingual gears to eventually arrive at an English response.

The session will be airing tomorrow, November 10, on Morning Becomes Eclectic. The entire session – and interview — will be up in the archives starting at 9am here: KCRW’s Beer-Soaked Manu Chao Live Session at Apogee Studios
