If you live in So Cal and have never listened to this bad ass talk about classical music when it\u2019s late at night and you\u2019re buzzed, you really fucking need to.

\n

For the rest of you in the country, don\u2019t worry. There\u2019s an app.

\n

He\u2019s hosting right now.

Correct. Alternately, stream it from here.

KUSC is amazing. Even when in 6th grade we were tasked to listen to an hour of classical a week for some assignment, it was like meh. Because (& prolly because ad stations only exist to gather an audience) it was just sedate background music for dental waiting rooms and \u201cclassy\u201d stores.

\n

KUSC really shows off how much awesome, vital, powerful stuff there\u2019s been over the centuries. Plus the DJs will usually say something interesting on the intro, the outro, or both, that really does enhance your appreciation of the piece. That is when they\u2019re not dropping dry-as-hell humor bombs.

Holy shit are you hearing this? The smooth nighttime show was playing Mario Castelnuovo-Tedesco\u2018s Guitar Concerto #1 in D, and then it was like okay settle down with some Tchaikovsky Sleeping Beauty, but then BAM, Robert Schumann\u2019s Piano Concerto in A and then Gaspar Sanz\u2019s Canarios, this is the most raging dreamtime mix I\u2019ve ever heard
