WHAT'S GOING ON with KJRW (for the 3rd week of June)

Live365.com has given the KJRW station page a new look.
Check it out and tell us what you think.

A handful of people made KJRW a favorite station last week.  You can do that by clicking the heart on the station page.  The number of streams launched has decreased this past week.  It may be because the play button has been moved to the upper left corner of the station page.


The Top Ten tracks on KJRW this past week were:

1. Baby Boy - Girl in a Coma
2. Andres - L7
3. Over Seasons - Authority Zero
4. No Integrity - Betty Blowtorch
5. Lust For Life - Iggy Pop
6. Cold Wind - Black Rebel Motorcycle Club
7. Dog Eat Dog - Adam and the Ants
8. Get With Me - PINS
9. Apathetic - Lunachicks
10. Chelsea Dagger - Fratellis

NEW WAVE SUMMER crashes in THIS WEEK!  The genre of music that bridges the gap between Punk and Grunge.  Song suggestions?

THE END

This is the last month of our subscription with Live365.com.

In the past three years, there have been over 37 thousand visits to the KJRW page.  Most have liked what they saw, and decided to hit the play button to give us a listen.  What they discovered was a mix of songs that really cannot be heard anywhere else.

KJRW is a listener-supported, independent, alternative rock internet radio station.  We play music you don't get to hear on mainstream radio anymore, or maybe never did.  Our favorite artists include:  The Clash, The Ramones, Joan Jett and the Blackhearts, Minor Threat, Iggy and the Stooges, Nirvana, Green Day, The White Stripes, Pearl Jam, L7 and The Pixies.

Some bands KJRW plays do not even have a record deal.  As you may know, bands without a record label backing them do not get airplay on traditional radio.

KJRW is not just a bunch of songs on "Shuffle and Repeat".  Playlists are hand-crafted.  Songs are placed in a certain order with station identification snippets in between that we hope you will find entertaining.

If you have enjoyed listening to KJRW at any point or even admire the concept, please consider throwing a few bucks our way so that we can remain online for another year.
