"Will you please play This Must be the Place, by the Talking Heads? I'm a faithful listener of your show and a former Seattleite. Now listening in New Hampshire. Moved here to be closer to family. Thought it a fitting song to remind us all to be grateful for having a place to call home during these unsettling times. Thank you to you and all the DJs at KEXP for the musical company you add to my days. Wouldn't be home without you! Stay safe and healthy." - Marissa
"I think some of us who are part of the KEXP community are also part of the WNYC Community here in NY. On Friday, our much loved morning edition host Richard Hake passed away at just 51.

THANK YOU so much for all you and the team are doing during these just effed up times. We appreciate you so much!" - Wendy, thank you!

"We recorded this song, "Stop Pretending", as we were continuing to stay at home. The song was written using a collaboration exercise that we had given to our fans as an outlet to create and find connection in a time of duress & isolation (we called it the "Stay Home Stems" series) —and it ended up also working for us— this song was written, recorded, mixed and mastered in two days at our house, & this what we have to show for it.
If often write apocalyptic songs as way to enter a new world that juxtaposes despair with hope.. I hope it can bring a little bit of light in a dark season. Sending all of our love to everyone during this time. We can't wait to be together again." - XO Jessica, Peter & Deep Sea Diver

"My name is Regan, I am a long-time listener and amplifier. Yesterday morning my best friend's husband Marty died. He had battled breast cancer for two years. He was only 53 years old and he leaves behind two boys ages 12 and 10. We are devastated and I am so sad for my friend and her kids. I can't believe I can't go and give her a big hug during all this pain. Can you please play LCD Soundsystem "Someone Great."

For Heather in Telluride, CO!
You know the air is unfit to breathe
Our food is unfit to eat
We know things are bad
Worse than bad; they're crazy
It's like everything everywhere
Is going crazy
So we don't go out anymore
We sit in the house and slowly
The world we're living in is getting smaller
For Joe, who wrote in this morning: "Can you play a good song that communicates "I'm mad as hell & I'm not going to take this anymore?" Don't care which, just need this today."
For Erika in Ballard, who is currently helping her daughter out with high school chemistry
Found on ninth studio album from the English electronic duo.
