KEXP runs mostly on pure love, but your support helps us with getting cameras and recording equipment out on the ground. We'd all probably like to attend SXSW, Sasquatch, Iceland Airwaves, MFNW, Bumbershoot, CMJ and other festivals every year, but unless you have oodles of money and no job, you probably can't do that. Think of your amplifier membership as a majorly discounted ticket to festivals like these for years to come. Here's KEXP's photo coverage of Wilco closing out Sasquatch 2011: bit.ly. And here's audio from the whole set: bit.ly
Music has never had a static existence. Traditions are passed down and artists build their own contributions on top of the entire history of music.

Brave artists like LCD Soundsystem expand the boundaries of music. It takes guts to write 5-8 minute songs when most radio stations refuse to play anything over 4 minutes. Fortunately both KEXP DJs and KEXP listeners have attention spans longer than that of a gold fish, or a commercial radio station DJ, and we won't refuse to play or listen to a good song just because it's long. Thanks for being good listeners!
