KEXP helped me feel at home in a strange new place when I moved to Seattle many years ago. It was so hard to leave KEXP behind, so you can imagine the pure joy I felt when I saw the announcement that KEXP was setting up in the Bay. Very grateful to be a part of building KEXP community in San Francisco now. It would mean the world if I could hear Grant Green (ft. Charles Bradley) by Mr Jukes if you can fit it into your show. Rock on!\n--\nMr Jukes is the solo project of Bombay Bicycle Club frontman Jack Steadman.

In a world where it feels hard to find hope, KEXP delivers it every day. So thankful to have KEXP by my side. I'd love to request \"Home\" by LCD Soundsystem. This was a massive song for me upon its release, right after my dad died. I'd listen to it smiling, crying, feeling joy for the time he and I had, even in the depths of my grief.
