My Bluetooth speaker came with KEXP loaded as one of it’s preset radio stations, and I found several bands I now love through it. I had it going while doing housework for a while, and found myself looking up artists a few times a day. It feels like a proper college station from 20 years ago.
On their history page, the first paragraph starts with, “Beginning as a student and volunteer-run 10-watt radio station in 1972…”.
KEXP is THE best
Yes. Their YouTube channel popped up when scrolling and now I’m hooked.
KEXP goes way back, great formats and variety.
At my first job in Seattle I was able to bond over music with my coworkers thanks a lot to KEXP. Glad to hear it is getting a wider audience
Their lives on YouTube are amazing. The sound is perfect, it’s incredible. The band interviews, particularly by Cheryl Waters, are warm, interesting and short.
I’m not at all close to Seattle and this is my favorite radio in the world.
Some full performances favorites are:
- All Them Witches (especially Talisman)
- King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard (especially Iron Lung)
- Emma Ruth Rundle
All their appearances are spectacular and I replay those versions a LOT.
Thanks KEXP, you guys all rock.
I discovered Tinariwen through one of their live recordings. Pretty amazing stuff.
Thank you so much for sharing, just moved to the area and wanted to find some local stations. Consider this my new favorite
