I first happened upon this eclectic jewel when Eleni Mandell (one of my favorite independent artists) had a link from her site to an online live performance.  It was a couple years ago, but I think it was this one. 

Morning Becomes Eclectic is live radio show based out of LA, but also broadcasting to the world through the internet.  Nick Harcourt hosts this nationally recognized program, known for promoting a wide range of music ahead of the curve.  They provide streaming videos of these intimate, in-studio performances for all of us…and it’s free!!!  My favorite part of each program is an interview segment, which is usually after the band does a short set of songs.  Nick is very much in tune with these artists, turning out some insightful interviews.  The sound quality is excellent, the video is often a bit lo-fi but effective, and the interviews are superb.  Highly recommended!!!

Here are a few I checked out recently:
Arcade Fire
Azure Ray
Beck
The Decemberists
Aimee Mann
