    "comment": "John Darnielle has written almost 600 songs now, and some of them are very sad, dealing with hard drugs and tragic ends, hurting yourself and others, sicknesses of both body and brain, off-brand alcohols. They are told in beautiful, unnerving, specific detail because he is a very good writer, and also some of them are just true stories about his own life.\n—John Hodgman, 2012 \n\nKEXP has a free education program teaching young people the art of music curation and radio called 90.TEEN. Each week a different teen DJ in our current 90.TEEN cohort plays an hour-long set of music.\n\nThis past Saturday’s 90.TEEN DJ was DJ T! DJ T is a 15-year-old singer-songwriter from the Ballard neighborhood of Seattle. He’s learning how to play several instruments including guitar, ukulele, piano and glockenspiel. He says he is grateful for the DJs and music discovery at KEXP that has inspired him to pursue making music himself.\n\nhttps://www.mountain-goats.com/\nhttps://themountaingoats.bandcamp.com/",
