You all foster that by playing your own interests, listener requests, and starting programs like 90.teen.

Dawn...\nCan you please play My Own Personal Gravity by PM Dawn? BTW - I realize I could have added a bit of color on what this song means to me. It's about knowing your core values (faith, family, purpose) that keep you stable and motivated, making your life feel \"real\" and substantial. We need this power to hold ourselves together, mastering challenges, during these crazy ass times we're living in.\n--\n\"My Own Personal Gravity\" contains samples of \"4 O'Clock in the Morning\" by The Hassles, \"The Rill Thing\" by Little Richard and \"Looking for the Gang\" from the movie Rushin' Ballet.", "location": 1, "location_name": "Default", "play_type": "trackplay" }, { "id": 3604305, "uri": "https://api.kexp.org/v2/plays/3604305/?format=api", "airdate": "2026-01-14T14:56:43-08:00", "show": 65649, "show_uri": "https://api.kexp.org/v2/shows/65649/?format=api", "image_uri": "", "thumbnail_uri": "", "song": "Alive Ain't Always Living", "track_id": null, "recording_id": "f0bc351c-db36-4c22-9f9a-ea8e314b4d9b", "artist": "Quelle Chris", "artist_ids": [ "b2f60e78-7dca-4cb3-bc55-c62580be8010" ], "album": "DEATHFAME", "release_id": null, "release_group_id": "9df5051c-854e-4c43-81f3-75d8f8952c92", "labels": [ "Mello Music Group" ], "label_ids": [ "76efd859-3479-4c4a-a2ea-11740a0ab5b7" ], "release_date": "2022-05-13", "rotation_status": null, "is_local": false, "is_request": false, "is_live": false, "comment": "For Brian in Portland: \"Lovely to hear the show this afternoon as I work from home. In this mind-boggling start to '26 for the entire human species, I've had my personal life upended as well. \nOn 3/30/23 I had 4 ischemic strokes and an ensuing heart procedure on 7/2/23 that was thought to have resolved the root cause. I survived a near-death experience and felt rather miraculous. Then, on 12/28/25--a couple of weeks ago--I had a seizure while on a bike ride. It was my first ever; I came to in the back of an ambulance, absolutely (sober and) unaware how I got there. The cause is still unknown. The 2 events may or may not be related. I still have more tests and neurology appointments to work through in the hope that they find a cause. It's very, very difficult to feel optimistic about anything right now, but I am trying to lean into gratitude. It doesn't always feel genuine, but I do know that I'm still way more fortunate than generations of equally deserving folks across this crazy planet, and if I can get to gratitude, it genuinely helps. Do you have an edited version of Quelle Chris' Grateful you can share with peeps today? i certainly appreciate all that you share with us.\"\n--\n \"Alive Ain't Always Living\" was selected as a KEXP's Song of The Day during 2022.

He said I've been a donator ever since anyway that's my story so you know I requested Fishbone subliminal fascism because I thought it was pertinent even though it's not so subliminal anymore but I think maybe let's go full circle and you guys just play some killer Fugazi.
