Midnight Movie: VICE Explores LA's Hidden Urban Oil Wells
You might recall that right around Labor Day we celebrated KCRW's 30th anniversary of Morning Becomes Eclectic with a series of interviews with a handful of their on-air personalities. Today we are lucky enough to get the Top 10 list of Nic Harcourt's top albums of 2007. We are very happy to see that he's just as down with local kids Sea Wolf and Great Northern as we are. Not only that, but atop his list is another local girl, Jesca Hoop!
Join us now as we begin a series that we love to run at the end of the year - the Best Of list. Later today we will spotlight another KCRW dj and then two djs a day for the rest of the week. Come December we will have best-of lists from other locals, celebs and politicians begining the first of the month. So stay with us!
1) Jesca Hoop - Kismet (Columbia)
2) Ting Tings - Demos (Self-Released)
3) Salt & Samovar - Old Joy, New Joy (Self-Released)
4) Radiohead - In Rainbows (Radiohead.com)
5) Aqualung - Memory Man (Columbia)
6) Seawolf - Leaves In the River (Dangerbird Records)
7) Great Northern - Trading Twilight for Daylight (Eenie Meenie)
8) LCD Soundsystem - Sound Of Silver (EMI)
9) Federico Aubele - Panamericana (ESL)
10) Once - Original Soundtrack (Sony)

nic's love of "lite adult rock" is making MBE increasingly unlistenable. time for some new blood in the morning slot.
jesca hoop is fucking awesome. she has amazing range and talent.
Any 2007 top ten list without Kanye's Graduation is off.
people i know have taken to calling Morning Becomes Eclectic "Morning Becomes Suicidal". yaaaawwwwwn. no MIA on that list? REALLY? Radiohead, Great Northern, and LCD Soundsystem are worthy...
Great Northern, Aqualung and Jesca f-ing Hoop? Most hilarious list of the year.
Morning Becomes Snoretastic
Bah! Bad list...any list that doesn't have Kanye or MIA is going to be considered off? Wait until you see my list...ha!
the most bland of 2007 list.
nic h is maddening. "great" to see nic h and npr repping albums mostly from the majors...
OMG OMG! I just realized - NEON BIBLE CAME OUT THIS YEAR! how how how how how how can you leave that off your list? HOW?
neon bible? really? love arcade fire, but no, definitely not top 10. there were sooo many releases by well-respected "indie" bands (looking at you spoon, shins, white stripes, arcade fire, bright eyes, bloc party, arctic monkeys, of montreal, kings of leon, radiohead, wilco, etc.) this year. it's ridiculous. top 10 lists will definitely be interesting.
I refuse to listen to MBE anymore. Bad british bands, boring american ones and he's interviews suck.
Show should be called BORING BECOMES ECLECTIC.
The preponderance of major-label acts on his list is suspicious... payola, anyone?
Bring back Tom Schnabel!
