A Day in the Life... Pt. 4


While the songs are playing, I type their information into Spinitron on the computer in the booth. By going to the station's web-site, you can easily see every song I played. If there is a particular song you enjoyed, you can find out which artist performed it and which CD it is available on.

Every half hour, I read cards about the underwriters for the station. These are sponsors that help keep KAFM on the air. If you use one of these local businesses, please thank them for supporting KAFM.

The Morning Muse

Stranded Under Endless Sky - The 2nd and 4th Tuesday of every month - 6:30 to 9 PM. www.kafmradio.org

Many years ago, growing weary of what was being played on commercial radio, and also getting fed up with 15-minute-long commercial breaks, I decided to explore the varied and wonderful world of indie music. By doing this, I was able to build up an unusual and diverse music library. When I moved to the valley, I was lucky that someone encouraged me to give KAFM a listen.

I started doing The Morning Muse in the summer of 2007. Being repulsed by popular or top-40 radio, I make a conscious effort to play non-mainstream artists, who deserve but rarely get air-play on the radio. Also being opposed to peppy or upbeat music early in the morning, or most any other time, I decided to play low-key music.

The styles I play are: Americana, indie pop, and folk, with low-key rock and alternative music. I try to keep the music tranquil but varied, with some edge sneaking in from time to time. I also have an ear for lyrics that often are on the more melancholy or poignant end of the spectrum. (There is a reason I call myself the Storm Boy.)

I love it when people say to me, “I love that music, but I’ve never heard of that artist!” And I would love to hear from listeners who have an opinion or could give recommendations of artists to play on Stranded Under Endless Sky.
