NEW SONG

Hey, so we got some news from Radionomy that we would like to share:  
"In order to promote a wide international community of independent artists and young talents, Radionomy joins its sister company Jamendo Licensing to provide the Producers of radio stations Radionomy with musical streams regularly updated in more than 20 different music genres such as Pop Rock, Classical, World, Britpop and many more.
From now on, you'll be able at your convenience to select tracks among these various streams...  and add them into your own music... Using Radionomy Streams is optional, however, from May 15, 2018, in order to promote emergent artists and reduce a little bit the broadcasting costs, Radionomy will inject in your planning one of these Jamendo tracks, selected in the music genre of your station, every 3 hours (either approximately 2% of your playlist), only if none of these tracks has been scheduled in the planning for three hours."

What does this mean?  Our interpretation is that Radionomy will somehow offset some of their costs by forcing every station on their site to play music from their sister company.  It's true that most of the music KJRW plays was created decades ago, but we are not unwilling to play new songs.  In fact, it is inspiring to hear new alternative/punk rock.  We enjoy playing new tracks from indie artists, and encourage new bands to send us their music.  Just the other day, a band from Portland, OR, Riot AF sent their new single to kjrwwestseattle@yahoo.com.  We are happy to add it to our playlist.  However, the idea of some random song popping up every few hours is not appealing.  
Check out Radionomy's list of categories of music:

One punk song.  ONE.  And we listened to it.  It's not very punk rock.  What exactly is Drone Music?  Will some Gangsta Rap suddenly emerge from your speaker while listening to KJRW?  Tune in this week to find out.

Better yet, listen this weekend for a KJRW Punk Rock Weekend!  Nothing but Punk Rock all weekend long on KJRW --- well ya know, except for the occasional Jazz track Radionomy inserts.

WHAT'S GOING ON (at the beginning of April)

KJRW has been on Radionomy for 2 months, and today we got the thumbs up from them to keep going for another 6.  

During the first week of April, about 200 people checked out the station for almost 200 hours.  That's okay, but we can do better.  We'd like to see that number more than double in the next week.  Please spread the word that KJRW can now be heard on Radionomy.

We hope you enjoyed hearing the wacky novelty songs on April Fool's Day.  Here is something you may enjoy even more:  a chance to win one thousand dollars!  Listen to KJRW to find out how to qualify for the Grand Giveaway.
