Amy: Change at radio stations is glacial. Be your own DJ. Take control of your aural environment. It’s empowering.

That’s usually what I do, Dave. I switch on the iPod. But that’s as annoying as KEXP’s Saturday morning programming, for two reasons. A) the iPod is a one-person thing, and I tend to share my Saturday AM’s with my girlfriend. She’d probably get annoyed if I plugged in when riding shotgun in the car or at the breakfast table. B) I count on KEXP (among other sources) to turn me on to a great new song or bandthey’ve got a vast libraryso I can add enough great stuff to the little machine for it to count as my own personal DJ.
