The Goth Pot with its flowery replacement, the Zojirushi CD-JSC
Here at KEXP, we have two sources for hot water: the coffee maker and the Sparkletts dispenser. The water from the coffee maker is possibly tainted, and the water from the Sparkletts dispenser isn’t as hot as a seasoned tea-drinker like Kevin would prefer. [...]

I got a CD the other day that I am really digging. They’re a new local band called Sneaky Thieves and the album, called Accident(s), is being released in July. The best part about it is that it’s not something I would typically like. I know that [...]

Cheryl with Mike Johnson and the Evildoers, KEXP - 5/25/06
Mike Johnson and the Evildoers knocked my socks off in-studio yesterday. Their sounds was so dense, textural and gritty. I loved it! And, it’s no wonder they sounded so amazing. Not only is Mike Johnson an outstanding songwriter but it was like having a supergroup in [...]

Another big thanks to The Rogers Sisters! I remember them sounding great when they performed live on KEXP from SXSW in March, but they were awesome today… There’s just something about physically being here in the studio during the performance. I’m amazed that they were able to sound so tight, but still so [...]
