Nocturna

Nocturna, a radio show on the LA public radio station KCRW, is currently the soundtrack of my nights. The listening experience is completely different at night than it is in the day. It's even better at night listening to it in your car while driving the streets and freeways of LA, the orange streetlamps casting their light and shadow, light and shadow, in your car. I don't know why I get so nostalgic for my hometown sometimes. The music on Nocturna isn't even the type of music I usually seek out, but for some reason, it really affects me. I love the deep base that KCRW broadcasts their DJ's voices at. I love the way you can play the music quietly in the background and hold a conversation and then somehow the conversation is that much more deep or meaningful. Do you ever have those moments where the pauses in conversation are just as precise as speech?

Thanks to the wonders of the internet, you can listen to it anytime, but may I suggest, you listen to it at night?: Nocturna on KCRW.com
