it is Saturday night and we just got back from Iron Man, the movie (exactly what you'd expect and worth the price), and we're listening to the Swing Years on KUOW and I am just feeling warm and fuzzy about having a couple solid radio stations in town (or it might also be the Johnny Walker Red).
I think it is shocking that too many cities have nothing like KEXP. It is tragic. I can only hope KEXP doesn't ever lose the dj's voice and personality (Mrs. 8 is partial to Quilty 3000, me--leon berman, the 'proctologist of rock and roll').
Funny thing, the homogeneity in radio has lead to the explosion of independent programming over I-Tunes (Iranian ambient, anyone?), and that has lead to the weakening of really cool radio like KEXP. I'm a little ashamed to say, when the pledge drive is on (like last week), we flip the office stereo to Boot Licker over the web.
