Regarded as being
the ultimate tastemaker in music and named the "most influential DJ in
America," Nic Harcourt has been an innovator as Music Director at the
influential Los Angeles radio station KCRW, and as host of the
highly-acclaimed music programs Morning Becomes Eclectic and Sounds
Eclectic.
Nic has through the years been an
early champion of many artists including Coldplay, Dido, Moby, Alanis
Morrisette, Massive Attack, Damien Rice, Jem, Pete Yorn, David Gray,
and Norah Jones.
Nic's talents have made him uniquely suited to select innovative music
for motion pictures, television and commercials. His program is
monitored daily by studio and advertising executives. Nic has worked as
a music consultant and/or music supervisor for such television shows as
Queer as Folk, Life as We
Know It, and In Justice, as well as advertising
campaigns for Mitsubishi Motors, Apple's iPod, and Victoria's Secret.
Nic has helped select music for the motion pictures Ice Age, Anchorman,
Igby Goes Down, and The
Dukes of Hazzard. He has also compiled and produced several
volumes of live performance CD's under the Sounds Eclectic
name and recently completed his first book, Music Lust.
Some time last week,
between hosting his shows, recording a live session with The Shins and
listening to some of the hundreds of demos that he receives in the
mail, Nic took the time to put together two lists for us: his eight
favorite tracks of all time and his eight current favorites. Scroll
down to check out both of his Eight Tracks and be sure visit KRCW.com and their live
stream to hear what Nic's listening to this very moment.
