WHAT'S GOING ON (as 2016 comes to a close)

You'll hear Punked up Xmas tunes all week long on KJRW, as we continue our stay Under the Covers this winter.

We are currently at about 60% of our listening goal for the month of December.  There are less than 2 weeks left of the month.  Please help us increase listening by New Year's!

WHAT'S GOING ON (At the Beginning of our 7th Year)

KJRW CELEBRATES 3 YEARS OF EXCELLENCE

AS WE BEGIN OUR 7TH YEAR ONLINE

Keep KJRW online by listening.  Radionomy asks us for 40 more hours a day of listening in order for us to stay on.

A week into December, KJRW has gone undercover.  The Clash and Dead Kennedys both cover I Fought the Law.  A Perfect Circle covers John Lennon.  Cage the Elephant covers the Talking Heads.  Devo covers the Rolling Stones.  Foo Fighters cover Prince.  Green Day covers the Kinks.  Nirvana covers Bowie.  The Offspring cover the Ramones.  Rage Against the Machine covers Bob Dylan.  Red Hot Chili Peppers cover Stevie Wonder.  Smashing Pumpkins cover Fleetwood Mac.  Stone Temple Pilots cover Led Zeppelin.  All this and more, all winter long.  Get Under the Covers with KJRW.

And this Monday, KJRW declares war on Christmas!  Listen for punk rock holiday themed songs sprinkled into the mix through the 25th.

CHRISTMAS RAPPING

It's that time of year when people spend tons of money they don't have on stuff that that people don't want or need.  So, why not head over to the KJRW Corner Store and pick up a few things?  http://www.cafepress.com/KJRWWestSeattle 
There are T-shirts, sweatshirts, hats, key chains, and some new things in the Gift Ideas section.

Some people forego the materialism, and instead like to give money to a worthy cause.  May I suggest a small donation to your favorite independent internet radio station?
