Customer Reviews
Music That Matters
See from my name I'm from Seattle. I grew up with 50's, 60's, and 70's music and thought it the real music had died and been replaced by silly young girls singing formulaic nonsense, until I happened upon KEXP. Now, except for Saturday mornings from 9 to 11 on KSER Everett I listen to nothing but KEXP. The music has replaced most classic rock for me. It is the most interesting rock music out there today.
bumpin!
I'm feelin' the diversity. The Bassnectar track (#6 on episode 50) is bomb of course! Props Kevin, keep it flowin up North.
Got me back into the indie music scene
Been out of the indie music scene for a while and these podcasts have been great at getting me back into the scene - I particularly like the fact that you get different mc's/hosts with different tastes and that it's not limited to the Seattle area (although it's mainly North West bands). Also like that its not limited to rock - they've got some good Hip Hop, Pop and Electronic in there as well.
