k.d. returned to the Santa Monica-based station's signature show Morning Becomes Eclectic Thursday, October 9 and proclaimed KCRW the "world's greatest station." She also said she was really excited for the show because she loves small venues and is performing "as a listener" to help out a station she loves. Proceeds from KCRW Sessions shows go towards the station's music programming.

"k.d. has a long history here and I've been lucky enough to sit in the studio with her while she performs. I can tell you right now, the audience will be absolutely floored by her performance," said host Chris Douridas.
