iPods and KEXP

Posted by on August 11 at 15:38 PM

They do make these devices that turn your iPod into a stereo, so you don’t need radio at all should you choose that option.

Personally I like the weekend AM shows…the reggae show and “Preaching the Blues.” It’s music that rarely makes it on the radio. And with the reggae show it opens things up beyond the all-Bob-Marley-all-the-time concept. Plus it’s nice to ease into the morning a little bit.

For the late night programming, though, I (surprise) love the punk show, “Sonic Reducer” which is on Saturday nights. Now if only they’d get a good metal show in one of those nighttime slots….I understand the desire for music that creates ambiance but it’d be great to balance that with a little more of the “kick out the jams motherfucker” sound, whatever that may be.
