Nope, neither. We paid Billy a fee from tickets sold, how he got here? On his dime.

First, glad you like New Hot. That's one great way we bring new music to listeners. We strive to add the right new music for our audience, which is really a diverse continuum of music knowledge and tastes. There are many people who are just discovering Sleater-Kinney for the first time this week and that's exciting. There are other people who have an enclycopdic knowledge and for them we try to add features like Song of the Day & New Hot.

Thanks for introducing this idea of the station being a musical gardener, we're going to hold that idea and think back on this

We looked at the playlist just now and the last played (in this order) D'Angelo, Bon Iver, the Barr Brothers, Aphex Twin and Laura Marling... so...

Thanks for the member thank you gift idea!

We played Lorde when she wasn't widely known and she was our #2 on our listeners Top 89 of 2013. We're not K-Lorde and playing her as much as we used to but we're not gonna stop playing her just because others do.

A good record is a good record.
