Pledge KEXP Now!!!

Thanks to the lovely Mindy Johnson, I was introduced to KEXP, a fantastic Seattle public radio station. I don't know how I had lived without it for so long. They play a wonderful variety of music. I had lost interest in most music several years ago, probably having something to do with becoming a mom and being married to a musician. I felt there was little time or money to spend on new music and that I got enough at home. Then KEXP dropped into my life and I'm all excited about music again. So excited that when I heard they were coming to Austin for SXSW and broadcasting from the Austin City Limits studios two blocks from my office, I volunteered to help. I can't wait!

If you haven't checked them out, you should. John in the Morning's show, which conveniently airs from 8am - noon CST, is my favorite and gets me through even the roughest Mondays.

They're having the pledge drive now, and if you can spare some change, please consider it. These people work hard. I've e-mailed into the station, and have gotten a response back within, like, 15 minutes! From a DJ who was currently on air! How insane is that? And who else would play Matthew Sweet, The Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Willie Nelson, and The The all in the same hour?

So, that was my plug for KEXP. Now go listen and give some cash, dammit.
