    "comment": "Mel: Hi, KEXP. I was diagnosed with breast cancer two weeks ago. Currently the cancer is considered stage zero and I am scheduled to have a lumpectomy next month. Yesterday, though, I learned that the standard-protocol- just-in- case breast MRI revealed another mass that needs to be biopsied. Cross your fingers for me, please. When you get an MRI, the technicians ask you what music you want to listen to during the test. You can't hear most of it, because the machine is very loud. I requested the Pixies because I wanted to hear something I knew and loved but that was not likely to make me cry. As expected, I did not hear most of the songs, but the machine cycled down just in time for me to realize that a song with \"mutilation\" in the title was a weird choice given the circumstances. That is my new medical test theme song. If it fits, I would love to hear \"Wave of Mutilation.\"Thank you all for these Music Heals days. They mean a lot.",
