As the 2008 Fall Membership Drive approaches (next week!), it’s a good time to consider everything KEXP gives to you: entertaining DJs, a variety of programming, exciting events like the free Concerts at the Mural series, a wealth of free podcasting, community non-profit sponsorships, and a whole lot more. Just think of how often you’ve been exposed to new bands while listening in your car, online, or through your portable music device of choice. Even a quick glance at Largehearted Boy’s list of new releases this week and every week will show you how many new bands you’ll hear on KEXP. For instance, the DJs here have been playing Joseph Arthur’s new album, Temporary People, since before he played the KEXP BBQ this summer. Just listen for one day and you’ll hear XX Teens on the Morning Show, Dungen on the Midday Show, Ani DiFranco on the Afternoon Show, Koushik in the evening with Riz, Bomb the Bass in the overnight with DJ El Toro or Chairlift with DJ Shannon. And that’s just some of the releases from this week! So be sure to pledge your support to KEXP during the Fall Membership Drive (or right now!) and listen to these great new songs with the full knowledge that you’re giving back to the station that gives to you!
