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

Occasional contributor and inaugural Commenter of the Month recipient Pete sends in this topical scene of the Bene Bene truck in some sort of hippie-suffused Jefferson-based concentration camp, if you will:

Grabbed this pic somewhere along Jefferson between La Cienega and La Brea this past Wednesday.

(Side note: You’re still our favorite commenter, Pete. Don’t let it get to your head.)
