Debut EP, To Never Fear the Sun, dropped in October 2024 and set the tone for their emotionally charged, genre-defying aesthetic. The next chapter begins with the release of \"Powerless,\" featuring drummer Joey Waronker (Radiohead, Atoms for Peace, Beck, Oasis). https://tinyurl.com/mr27djhn", "location": 1, "location_name": "Default", "play_type": "trackplay" }, { "id": 3544313, "uri": "https://api.kexp.org/v2/plays/3544313/?format=api", "airdate": "2025-08-24T17:07:00-07:00", "show": 64377, "show_uri": "https://api.kexp.org/v2/shows/64377/?format=api", "image_uri": "", "thumbnail_uri": "", "comment": "", "location": 1, "location_name": "Default", "play_type": "airbreak" }, { "id": 3544312, "uri": "https://api.kexp.org/v2/plays/3544312/?format=api", "airdate": "2025-08-24T17:03:58-07:00", "show": 64377, "show_uri": "https://api.kexp.org/v2/shows/64377/?format=api", "image_uri": "https://ia801208.us.archive.org/9/items/mbid-51dd39ef-8e73-420e-9f18-649d0d923109/mbid-51dd39ef-8e73-420e-9f18-649d0d923109-10919843616_thumb500.jpg", "thumbnail_uri": "https://ia801208.us.archive.org/9/items/mbid-51dd39ef-8e73-420e-9f18-649d0d923109/mbid-51dd39ef-8e73-420e-9f18-649d0d923109-10919843616_thumb250.jpg", "song": "Rock ’n’ Roll High School", "track_id": "1c16c310-5ac3-3ab0-a3e3-2a1ab0241613", "recording_id": "625be5b7-cd73-422c-92c9-abd4d35e49ad", "artist": "Ramones", "artist_ids": [ "d6ed7887-a401-47a8-893c-34b967444d26" ], "album": "End of the Century", "release_id": "51dd39ef-8e73-420e-9f18-649d0d923109", "release_group_id": "b46e3fa3-f066-311b-a096-8c8b9353dab8", "labels": [ "Rhino" ], "label_ids": [ "c4f2cf49-b57c-4cc1-8061-f54400704ac4" ], "release_date": "2002-08-20", "rotation_status": null, "is_local": false, "is_request": false, "is_live": false, "comment": "On this day in 1979, The Ramones' movie Rock & Roll High School opens in theaters!\n\nThere were a couple versions of this song recorded, some with Phil Spector's hand involved ; the official video: https://youtu.be/oz7KYUkdlvE ; and from the movie: https://youtu.be/c5vh0QHUA1w ; https://ramones.com", "location": 1, "location_name": "Default", "play_type": "trackplay" }, { "id": 3544308, "uri": "https://api.kexp.org/v2/plays/3544308/?format=api", "airdate": "2025-08-24T17:00:44-07:00", "show": 64377, "show_uri": "https://api.kexp.org/v2/shows/64377/?format=api", "image_uri": "https://ia800203.us.archive.org/18/items/mbid-14be09ec-45ed-4e1c-a9f9-a547882bdd3a/mbid-14be09ec-45ed-4e1c-a9f9-a547882bdd3a-41600549667_thumb500.jpg", "thumbnail_uri": "https://ia600203.us.archive.org/18/items/mbid-14be09ec-45ed-4e1c-a9f9-a547882bdd3a/mbid-14be09ec-45ed-4e1c-a9f9-a547882bdd3a-41600549667_thumb250.jpg", "song": "Legalize Living", "track_id": "106b6f39-b6bb-4791-91c2-3d0762bf4239", "recording_id": "c6bd7618-17f1-4e24-9308-a9ee6bc547ac", "artist": "The Hives", "artist_ids": [ "487bfd74-71bf-46dd-b89c-80b7a0f06f2f" ], "album": "The Hives Forever Forever The Hives", "release_id": "14be09ec-45ed-4e1c-a9f9-a547882bdd3a", "release_group_id": "54799c5b-7f66-4b78-98f7-cceca58e6be7", "labels": [], "label_ids": [], "release_date": "2025-08-29", "rotation_status": "Medium", "is_local": false, "is_request": false, "is_live": false, "comment": "The Hives seventh full-length album \"The Hives Forever, Forever The Hives\" drops on August 29th.\n\nThe Hives will be touring!

His 1994 single \"A Girl Like You\" was a worldwide hit, and was featured in the film Empire Records.\n\nIn February 2005, Collins was hospitalised after two cerebral haemorrhages which resulted in aphasia, and he needed months to recover. He resumed his musical career in 2007. A documentary film on his recovery, The Possibilities Are Endless, was released in 2014.\n\nCollins was the co-founder of the indie record label Postcard Records and co-founded a second label, Analogue Enhanced Digital, in 2011. Collins has also worked as an illustrator, television actor, television producer and record producer.

It’s a soft hand tracing the stretch marks left behind by a once messy, awkward, painful, and frightening realisation of my queerness. It’s a memory of the unspoken ways in which my heart and body knew how to move; knew how to draw in close under a cloak of darkness to bridge canyons of hatred and fear with acts of love.\n\n\"I wrote this song the night after a party where my self-esteem had shattered into a million pieces. When, out of my face, I’d confessed to someone with my words, my precious words, how I had loved them all those years ago. I was half-expecting some big revelation or closure or acknowledgement, but it didn’t come. I would always be something they’d rather pretend didn’t happen.\n\n\"I wish I could tell little Cob how much joy and beauty was waiting for them on the other side of all that pain. I hope I can give the same love to anyone out there who’s still figuring things out. And I want to keep giving it to you – my beautiful, boundless, infinite queers. This song is for you.
