KCRW hoodie
In addition to broadcasting news from National Public Radio and airing shows about cooking, books, and politics, the Santa Monica, Calif.–based KCRW plays gorgeous cutting-edge music. KCRW spun Coldplay and Sia before mainstream radio did, and I remember hearing Adele’s “Someone Like You” over a year ago. Since KCRW is a public station, it needs contributions to stay alive — with a gift of $100 you get a Ron English–designed hoodie (membership to KCRW also gives you discounts at some of L.A.’s best restaurants and clubs).
