If anyone is looking for a Spotify replacement, KEXP is a pretty good choice! It doesn't let me necessarily pick what I want in that very moment, but the DJs are always finding songs I didn't know I needed in my life that no algorithm can find. www.kexp.org - ThreadSky

KEXP is my 2nd pick. KALX #1!

Website used to let you play back DJ sets from the past ... and they still do, but I guess you can't skip songs now...

Sparkle Motion is a fave:

Or just go live:

Thanks for the recommend! Today is my first morning listening to KALX and the DJ is playing tributes to David Lynch. I will definitely be hanging out there often.

peter-butler.bsky.social•28 days ago

Excellent. Now I'm listening too... (never heard this L-train person before)

They're doing the Best of 2024 this week, which is always fantastic

They have a great app.

smashednsinking.bsky.social•28 days ago

Really good year for things called English Teacher

randomduck.bsky.social•28 days ago

WXPN is also fantastic! They’re similar to KEXP though to my ears they play a far more eclectic mix that appeals more - East coast versus West coast vibes, I reckon!

Both are great options, tho.

psychicwhoosh.bsky.social•28 days ago

And man, if you are into trippy ambient music, Star's End on WXPN is amazing. Program has been running since the 1970s. https://xpn.org/program/stars-end/

One of the greatest radio stations in the country.

Tidal is the way to go. They pay their artist the most out of all the music streaming services.

Check out this app I built, @scrobblerad.io. It’s like being able to skip to the next station in the dial if there’s something you don’t dig. Lots of great stations, including KEXP.

I’ve basically stopped using Apple Music and replaced it with radio listening over the last year.

peter-butler.bsky.social•28 days ago

Super awesome. Two of my favorites right -- WFMU and WFPK -- right on top of each other

jbwharr.is•28 days ago

Have tried to assemble all the best stuff out there. So many great stations to check out

smashednsinking.bsky.social•28 days ago

I grew up in the WFMU zone along with WHTG, Rutgers, and even the Monmouth College station, was a time to be alive!

KEXP did a WHTG retrospective thing once and it was awesome.

smashednsinking.bsky.social•29 days ago

Neat!

jamescrugnale.bsky.social•28 days ago

I love to listen to them on https://radio.garden! I missed listening to them when I lived in Seattle and went to the Online Coffee cyber cafe in Capitol Hill, those were the days

andybresnan.bsky.social•28 days ago

WFMU saved my life!

KCRW as well.

sunbreak.bsky.social•29 days ago

And there are archived shows and performances for various moods! :)

smashednsinking.bsky.social•29 days ago

Yes, these are great! I hit up the 90.teen with my kids for various breakfast morns and wake up on Sunday and miss starting Pacific Notions that I then start late for some bliss out time.

And my kids and I roll around Seattle on Friday evenings blasting The Continent from the car. 😆

jeffrohe.bsky.social•29 days ago

doesn't let you pick what you want to hear but they often read your mind! the kexpesp is real!

pleasedontmakeme.bsky.social•28 days ago

Thank you

xteen.bsky.social•28 days ago

Wait has Spotify gone the way of meta and target? Has Spotify also failed us?!

You can't go wrong with WXRV 92.5 outta Boston. Independent radio, great Sunday morning shows, and you get to hear ads with that great accent!
