Bob Saget? KCRW? Sundance? Connecting with Ted from “how I met your mother” on a cultural kernel of obscure music. And having a snapshot memorialized of this moment in time. What’s not to love about this? Thanks for sharing. Also is KCRW still a big deal? I kinda hope they are but admittedly stopped following them after 2010
Excellent piece! I do recall Cloud Cult and I can remember listening to them for the first time on a Precor machine at the gym but I will admit that I can’t remember what they sound like. I of course could play them online and pretend I knew their stuff all along but I will play them later today and see if I go “oh yeah!” And yes, KCRW is indeed still a thing and they still have good music shows but they pale in comparison to KEXP. Morning Becomes Eclectic was my ritual weekdays growing up in the 80-90s in Los Angeles.
Thank you! Before my knees went out, the treadmill is one of the main places I listened to Cloud Cult! They have a lot of songs in the power-sprint speed. LOL
And now I’m going to check out Cloud Cult! (And probably binge-read more Substacks that I’ve missed in the last three weeks of insanity that I cal life)
Great post! New band recommendation for me but the grief and transformation quote puts them right in my wheelhouse, so will check them out. Your Bob Saget video which makes me wonder how to play six degrees of separation with other Substackers..... (Also congrats on your guest post, and thanks for recommending Writing in Co.)

I'm not sure how big a deal they are around the country/world. I still stream their Eclectic 24 channel from the app -- it's all music, no dj.
