Good Music Taste.
Hot Music Takes.
Everyone’s a critic, we’re just the best. Every episode, hosts Travis Holcombe and Famous Friend present the biggest, weirdest, buzziest stories in music to a celebrity guest. Then they have to pick a side: Spin or Skip?
The Hosts
Famous Friend is an ASCAP award-winning artist, producer, and connector between Southern California’s DIY scene and the mainstream music industry. He’s gone from sweaty, packed shows at The Smell to sold-out 40-date tours across the US, UK, France, and Australia. Along the way he’s played SXSW, been selected for BBC Introducing, and earned support from Spotify, KCRW, KEXP, and NPR. Whether it’s a sold-out Daine show at a UCLA frat or Clarion playing to 20 people in Boyle Heights before breaking out on TikTok, he’s always looking for what’s next, and he’s built a community that pays attention when he finds it.
Travis Holcombe is a Los Angeles DJ, former KCRW host, and founder of FREAKS ONLY FM: a 24-hour independent station for people who are sick of algorithms. During his time at KCRW, he championed some of the most exciting names in electronic music, featuring guest DJ sets from artists such as Soulwax, HAAi, Bolis Pupul, and Nikki Nair. In May 2026, he took the whole operation independent. Shaped by years behind both the mic and the booth, he brings a curator’s sensibility to the dance floor, focusing on tone, pacing, and atmosphere as much as peak-time energy.
