We have kicked off our Fall Membership Drive on KCSN, and while I won’t be doing any of those long on-air spiels during tonight’s L.A. Buzz Bands Show, I will encourage you here to become a contributing member and help your local all-music, listener-supported station. There are some cool incentives that you can find out about here. Also included is an auction for prime tickets to the two KCSN Benefit Concerts at Valley Performing Arts Center – Dec. 5 with Sarah McLachlan and Laura Marling and Dec. 12 with Ryan Adams, Conor Oberst and David Gray. So while you won’t get any of my live sermonizing tonight, you will get a healthy dose of new local music, including fresh songs from Hanni El Khatib, Cold War Kids, the Bots, Mariachi El Bronx and more. And my “Flashback Track” will rewind to 2007 to hear from a dearly departed L.A. quartet. Tune in at 9 p.m. on 88.5 FM. Below, subject to last-minute changes, are the beginnings of tonight’s playlist:

Hanni El Khatib, “Moonlight”
Cold War Kids, “Hot Coals”
Wildcat! Wildcat!, “Hero”
Magic Bronson, “Shivers”
The Bots, “Blinded”
Northern American, “So Natural”
Afternoons, “Love Is a Western Word”
** The Broken West, “Down in the Valley”
Mariachi El Bronx, “Wildfires”
Archer Black, “The Smoke”
Avid Dancer, “I Want to See You Dance”
Buddy, “Anywhere You Go”
Jesse Jo, “Baby Love”
John Gold, “Glow Stars”
Sophie and the Bom Boms, “Pray”

… thanks for listening
