If listening to the new National record on the New York Times‘ website isn’t enough National for you, then today is your lucky National day. The boys shall be performing two songs live on WNYC’s Soundcheck, from the posh Greene Space venue in their building, today at 2:30 PM, on air at 93.9FM in NYC. Sadly, it’s all sold out, but if you want to watch it from your cube farm/smart phone/Vic 20 then click on over there and get your moody groove on.

The Morning Benders will be playing live on WNYC’s Soundcheck with John Schaefer very shortly, in just minutes as a matter of fact. If you want a preview of one of their THREE sold out New York shows (tonight at Mercury Lounge, April 24 at Music Hall of Williamsburg, and back at Mercury Lounge on April 28), or you slept on tickets and you want to hear what you’ll be missing, tune in to 93.9FM or listen online at wnyc.org, starting at 2:30PM EDT.

Were you bummed that you didn’t get a chance to see Jonsi at Coachella this weekend? Are you unable to attend one of the Sigur Ros frontman’s gigs in Seattle, Portland, Berkeley, SF, Denver, Lawrence, Minneapolis, Milwaukee, Chicago, Philly, Boston, or New York? Then never fear, as the golden-throated one will be performing live on KCRW’s Morning Becomes Eclectic today at 11:15AM PDT/2:15PM EDT. Be sure to tune in to 89.9 FM in LA or click over to KCRW’s website to hear tracks off his epic new solo album, Go.

This year, KALX listeners can make their April 15 a little less taxing by tuning in to MC Hammer’s favorite radio station for a live set by Sigur Ros frontman Jonsi. KALX can be heard at 90.7FM on the Bay Area radio dial, or listened to online right here.

My guess is that there are a great many residents of the Minneapolis/St. Paul area who wish they could be at tonight’s sold out xx show. I suggest that you tune in to The Current at 89.3FM and listen to the session The xx recorded there earlier today. I also suggest that, if you’re out of the range of The Current’s signal, or if you just prefer your radio the way I prefer my coffee (online), you click here to listen on the Internet machine.

XL just won’t leave KEXP alone today. Hopefully they’ve rested from today’s Jonsi session, because Holly Miranda will be rocking the Seattle airwaves live in their studio this afternoon at 6:00PM EDT/3:00PM PDT. Seattle-ites can listen at 90.3FM, and the online listener can browse to kexp.org.

Don’t forget that Holly will be playing live at High Dive later on tonight, and likewise don’t forget that her debut full length, The Magician’s Private Library, is available for purchase at our webstore.

This afternoon, Sigur Ros frontman Jonsi gives Seattle a preview of his two-night stand at the Showbox SoDo with a live session at KEXP. Fortunately, those of us not in Seattle can tune in online at kexp.org and share the love that’s coming in over the airwaves at 90.3FM in the Emerald City.

If you’re feeling like checking out the Jonsi live experience, tickets for the Seattle shows are still available. If you’re on the fence, I suggest checking out this tour sneak preview to get a gander of what you could be missing out on. And if you’re more about listening to music in the comfort of your own home, by all means take a trip to our webstore and pick up a copy of Jonsi’s new album, Go.
