Radio Dear Kexp and KUOW
Posted by Christopher Frizzelle on Thu, Jun 25, 2009 at 4:43 PM
You realize Michael Jackson just died, right? Are you out to lunch? A late lunch?
UPDATE: KEXP now has someone reading emails to the station about Michael Jackson. At least that's something. How about you play some songs, KEXP?
UPDATE 2: Ah! Ben Gibbard's cover of "Thriller." Nicely played.
AHEM!: I stand corrected. Someone at KEXP points me to this afternoon's playlist. Kevin Cole been scattering in MJ songs (and a wild variety of covers) all afternoon.

please dear god. i hope kexp is playing MJ instead of that horrible horrible world music I am sometimes forced to listen to when driving home from work.....seriously, does anyone else get really pissed about that block?

Mr. Frizzelle, in your editorial wisdom you seem to have jumped to conclusions that are simply not true. This is why the new media will not win, because it allows for too many errors even by those who are charged with making sure no errors get made.

Dear KEXP and The Stranger,
Sky Saxon of The Seeds also died today, but I suppose it would be "Pushin' Too Hard" to get an acknowledgement.

no, #6 and #7 FT-MF-L. look at the playlists, cheryl played the seeds and talked about how sky was her old neighbor, for fuck's sake.

Yeah, the e-mails "someone" (Kevin Cole) was reading were in response to the fact that KC had already been playing a bunch of MJ and related stuff. And the Ben Gibbard "Thriller" cover was not "nicely played"; it was an insult.

The Gibbard cover of thriller was only way the local show (Audioasis) would be able to tribute Michael Jackson.
