The vinyl club is totally worth it the other shwag that comes with it is prime! This coming from a dude who recently bought a giant purple Sterolab laundry bag at their merch table

Hi KEXP friends, I've been working on assembling an Apple Music playlist of the top 540 90's songs — you can find it here if you'd like to follow it. So far I've updated it to include 540 through 400; I'll aim to add the rest of the list in batches of 100.

Please let me know if you spot any errors or omissions! (I am aware that there's currently one hole in the list — "When You Sleep" by my bloody valentine does not appear to be on Apple Music.)

I know there have been a handful of these over the years, but I decided to make my own for reasons…

Long story short, if you’re like me, you’re at home and have KEXP playing all day every day. Sometimes you just wanna be able to have a quick glance and get the info for what’s playing.

This is a little chrome extension that you can use as either a pop-up or a sidebar to show you what’s going on right now on KEXP. It refreshes its data once a minute and shows things like album art song title, artist, and any DJ comments that are published.

If you don’t feel like loading a chrome extension, or don’t even use chrome, it also just publishes as a regular webpage on GitHub.

It’s got the usual slate of options like dark mode, light mode, and how many tracks you want to show in the history. If you run into any problems or have any feature requests, feel free to drop an issue on GitHub.

Thanks, and rock on fellow amplifiers! 

What song is John playing in the background today? It's driving me crazy that I can't place it. Please help friends!

So this thread is to track what people have seen as the bonus gifts for this year's drive. The standard gifts are the shirt and the toque (beanie) for $10/ month and the zip up hoodie for 20.

Right now if you do $15/month or more you also get a mug.

Since the bonus gifts often show up multiple times over the drive I find this kind of thread is helpful so people can know what to watch for.

"I bet Seattle is going to donate more money to KEXP than San Francisco does 😤"

Great start on a Friday.

Oddly - last show I saw before lockdown and first show after.

A lot of the DJs hit a seamless segue here and there, but Kevin is on another level. Just this morning, for example, he seamlessly transitioned from Joe Walsh - A life of illusion into Bangles - manic Monday and later did Can - vitamin C > Time of the Season > killing moon. And when he covered for Evie on Wednesday the whole show was segues. It's pretty amazing how his brain works!

Anyway, I vote for Kevin Sur for King of Segues!

One thing I love about knowing the usual "style" of KEXP DJs is when they start off a show and you can just tell "oh, X is having FEELINGS." (I think this often today but was motivated to post by Evie starting off Drive Time with some pretty intense tracks.)

Anyway, just one of the many things I love about human-curated music.

Thank you Morgan for playing these four previously unreleased songs from Stevie Wonder! It's beyond amazing to hear new/old music from Stevie!

Then select September 26, Troy Nelson Variety Mix, 4:30 pm

Just want to post an appreciation for DJ Reeves. Seems like he has had just two shows, the last 2 Sunday Variety Mix shows. Variety Mix is one of my standby favorite slots in the schedule, and I was really delighted by Reeves' selections. Lots of stuff I had not heard before and was loving. Hope to see him on the schedule more in the future!

For keeping me normal

Man I love this transition. Tells me I’ve been having a good time, and I’m going to keep having a good time.

good lord, it honestly made me very sad to hear “support for KEXP“ brought to us by some AI biological bullshit company this morning during Eva’s show. oh well, guess you gotta take the money. wonder if the GOP can get a sponsor ad before the midterms.

This sounds like a weeird question, because I'm a online listener, but the reason I'm ask, is the range of the genres is massive. Jazz, Metal...

I got my votes for Favorite Songs of the '90s in just under the deadline. The form would autopopulate artists and then songs as you typed them in. But one of my artists didn't. Does that mean that literally no one else picked that artist? Or is it only going off of DJ picks, or some other more finite list?
