WHAT'S GOING ON (at the Beginning of Our 6th Year)

Hello and welcome to December, the beginning of KJRW's 6th year online!  We launched 5 years ago with the Presidents of the U.S.A.'s cover of the MC5's Kick Out the Jams.  Consequently, we kick out our 6th year with covers.  It's our most popular feature, so we're starting it early.  Get Under the Covers with KJRW all winter long!

All Request Fall came to a close as November and our 5th year online ended.  The most requested songs in November were:

1. Special - Garbage
2. When You Find Out - Nerves
3. Song 2 - Blur
4. I Only Fucked You As A Joke - Childbirth
5. Communist Eyes - Germs

12. Clampdown - Clash
13. 1 2 X U - Wire

KJRW's rank on Live365 went up because people spent more time listening to the station than they had in the previous month.  There were over 18 hundred visits to the station page in November.  People listened the most in:

2. Czech Republic
3. Canada
4. Switzerland
5. Mexico
6. Colombia

Please help us start out our 6th year strong with a donation. KJRW is totally listener-supported.  We do not receive any money from the ads you hear on the station.  All the ad money goes to Live365.
