    "comment": "\"Public radio is how I grew up listening to music and stories (NPR)! Feel so lucky to have KEXP!\"  This one's for you, Caroline!\n--\nAmelia Meath said this about \"Radio\": Lyrically, this is mostly me talking to myself. Hilariously enough this song is on the radio now, but at the time I was feeling an immense amount of pressure to write new songs for What Now even though we were still mid-cycle on our first record. Most of the song is spent accusing myself of trying to become a successful musician when there are so many other important things to be doing other than sucking up to the man, trying to get America to think you are cool. Also — getting on mainstream radio is like trying to join a secret society, particularly if you are female. Stations have literally come back to us saying that they already have ‘a female vocal’ in their playlist. GUUUUUUUUUUHHHHHHHHHHHH!\"",
