WHAT'S GOING ON (in the middle of April)

The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction is this weekend.  KJRW is celebrating members all month long.  Listen for Lou Reed and the Velvet Underground.  The Velvets joined a few years back, and this year it's Lou's turn as a solo artist.  You will also hear David Bowie, The Ramones, Talking Heads, The Police, The Clash, Elvis Costello, The Pretenders, U2, Sex Pistols, Blondie, Patti Smith, R.E.M., The Stooges, Beastie Boys, Red Hot Chili Peppers and Nirvana. On top of that are a couple more artists entering the hall this weekend:  Green Day and Joan Jett and the Blackhearts.

April Fool's Day didn't drive folks away, even though it consisted mostly of 80's and 90's pop music. In fact, that day saw the most visits to the station page so far this month.

We recently added a boatload of tunes to the mix, and will continue to add more each week.  Your favorite songs playing on KJRW currently are:

1. Seether - Veruca Salt
2. Fall Behind Me - The Donnas
3. Dangerous - Big Data
4. Teen Age Riot - Sonic Youth
5. I Hate Myself for Loving You - Joan Jett and the Blackhearts
6. Bad Reputation - Joan Jett
7. Woman - Wolfmother
8. Violet - Hole
9. Ring of Fire - Social Distortion
10. The KKK Took My Baby Away - The Ramones

KJRW is listener-supported INDIE Radio.  You can throw a few bucks our way on the Go Fund Me page.
