Jim Ladd

Before there was Spotify, XM Sirius, Youtube or even MTV, there was Jim Ladd. Filling the airwaves with his sonic therapy. Whether on KMET, KLOS, KMPC or even KNAC (before it was the holy grail of Metal), he turned my mind on to bluesy, psychedelic classic rock as I grew into my teenage body. “The Last DJ” was a legend in the business, and the attached video is from his weekly program "Headsets,” an ethereal, hour-long curated set of tunes, sounds and random dialogue he designed to be listened to with headphones and an altered conscious. A legendary program, from a legendary dude.
