The MP3 and iPod revolution have changed forever how people
listen to music, but choosing what to listen to next
remains the dilemma of music lovers everywhere. As music
director of KCRW in Santa Monica, CA, and DJ of the
influential "Morning Becomes Eclectic" show, Harcourt
uncovers the best in new and overlooked music for over half
a million listeners every day. In Music Lust, Harcourt does
what Nancy Pearl did for books in her national bestseller
Book Lust. With more than 80 unique and unusual thematic
lists, Harcourt offers a wide-ranging guide to the best in
recorded music, from Frank Sinatra to Frank Zappa, Billie
Holiday to Billy Bragg, bebop to hip-hop, The White Album
to Back in Black, and much, much more. Known as an
international tastemaker, Harcourt lends his discerning ear
in recommended listening lists such as "Queens of
Punk," "Great Road Music," and "My Desert Island Discs."
Within each list, key bands and performers are introduced
and discussed, and pivotal albums and songs identified.
With the diversity of genres represented and Harcourt at
the helm, Music Lust’s eclectic access to musicians,
themes, and styles is spot-on for this moment in music.
