save! the! wave!

i confess, i completely imprinted on 1980's new wave music.

my favorite seattle radio station, KNHC, has a streaming feed on the net. and on thursdays from 7 AM until (i think) 9 AM seattle time (that's 10-12 on the east coast), they have a show "save the wave" that is a solid mix of new wave stuff.

i admit, it does make me a bit old when they use the tag-line that it's mixed by dj trent "who was there".

but it's a great mix. i suggest checking it out. http://c895worldwide.com/ has links to their feeds. and if you've got an iphone, the public radio app works. (and that means i can drive around listening to a seattle radio station in my car in MA. I LOVE THE FUTURE)

oh, and the coolest thing about KNHC? it's not college radio. it's high school radio. substantially run by high school kids.

the rest of their format is dance music, and is great if you like that sort of thing.

Aw, man, I'd love to listen to this!

Sadly, the suzerains at my office have blocked streaming audio to cut down on bandwidth use.

The music of your youth, courtesy of kids who wouldn't even be born for another ten years. Not sure how this makes me feel.

Thanks for the link, though! I'm going to cross-post, if you don't mind.

Thanks! I will.

I really do wonder though how they manage to survive, and I'm not just talking money. The big radio stations must really hate their guts, not to mention the record labels.

the labels may love them, or at least want them to love them back. knhc is, iirc, a billboard station for dance genre charts.

This sounds so totally up my alley. Will have to check it out.

Speaking of music... is your journal title a reference to MC 900 Ft Jesus? I haven't listened to that album in *years*...

i love that song.
