KMTT (103.7 "The Mountian") sometimes has decent music, although they tend towards more pop (yes, I like pop!) A few years back they had Neil Finn come perform live in their studio, which was cool. KUOW also has surprisingly good music, including current stuff, even though they are mainly a talk station. I first heard "Band of Horses" on KUOW's The Beat - again, playing live in the studio. Hearing live studio performances is really nice - does KEXP do that? PS: I'm glad to see you like The Decemberists - they're one of my current faves. Ironically, I tried to get a bunch of us to go see their ZooTunes concert this summer, and Wendy was the only one to take me up on the offer! :) Cool - I head heard of KEXP but for some reason I’ve never listened to it much.

UK friend introduces you to some music, music is from the UK. American friend, american music. Not a valid excuse on my part though. I stand corrected.
