CD Baby A record retailer based in Seattle. The firm specialises in two things: records made on their own labels by bands/musicians, so they have stuff you literally can't get anywhere else; and the most over-the-top and amusing line in acknowledgements of orders and other business communications.
I've only dealt with them once, so far, and got an album called ESPM: The Reunion (ESPM being Earland,Sparks, Person and Muhammad). I'm saving up an order for the Christmas album made by the fabulous Plas Johnson, the most widely heard jazz musician of all time -AM
KCRW This is a radio station run out of Santa Monica College, California, which broadcasts music and news. You'll find both a simulcast and a music stream on the site. The music stream re-runs all their music programmes and they're varied and informed, covering everything except classical. I think the best programme is Morning Becomes Eclectic which has stunning range of new music and a succession of guests that any UK station would give its back teeth for. If you're in the UK, you can listen to it live at supper-time -RL
