What to do a “local music” program, on the day of Lou Reed’s passing? Well, for tonight’s L.A. Buzz Bands Show on KCSN (88.5 FM, streaming at KCSN.org), I’ve dug out one of the best Velvet Underground covers ever, by L.A.’s own Johnette Napolitano. I’ll start the show with that, a finish it with a handful of other Reed/Velvets covers. In between, I will try to proceed as normal, with the usual potpourri of new music from SoCal artists. That means songs from the Moth & the Flame, Gap Dream, the Black Watch, Miracle Days and Nightmare & the Cat. Tune in at 9 p.m., won’t you? (And thanks to everyone who became a KCSN supporter during our pledge drive the past two Sundays.)
