Jimmy James, who turns 44 tomorrow!\n\nThe Delvon Lamarr Organ Trio was founded in 2015 and originally consisted of keyboardist Delvon Lamarr (Dumas) on Hammond B-3, guitarist Colin Higgins and drummer David McGraw.\n\nSoon after guitarist Jimmy James (Williams) replaced Higgins. All members had been active instrumentalists in the Seattle music scene. With the help of Lamarr's wife, Amy Novo (AKA \"Shortcake Mafia\"), acting as manager and booking agent, the group was solidified.\n\nOriginally a drummer and trumpet player, Lamarr switched to organ at the age of 22. He said he picked up the instrument naturally by observing organist/keyboardist Joe Doria, whose band Lamarr was drumming in at the time.\n\nJames and McGraw had previously co-founded \"The True Loves\", a Seattle-based nine-piece soul band. https://tinyurl.com/2wnbc8s7", "location": 1, "location_name": "Default", "play_type": "trackplay" }, { "id": 3544297, "uri": "https://api.kexp.org/v2/plays/3544297/?format=api", "airdate": "2025-08-24T16:47:09-07:00", "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": 3544296, "uri": "https://api.kexp.org/v2/plays/3544296/?format=api", "airdate": "2025-08-24T16:44:24-07:00", "show": 64377, "show_uri": "https://api.kexp.org/v2/shows/64377/?format=api", "image_uri": "", "thumbnail_uri": "", "song": "Here I Am", "track_id": null, "recording_id": null, "artist": "Al Green", "artist_ids": [], "album": null, "release_id": null, "release_group_id": null, "labels": [], "label_ids": [], "release_date": null, "rotation_status": null, "is_local": false, "is_request": false, "is_live": false, "comment": "Hober Mallow mix!

He was the lead singer for the 1980s post-punk band Orange Juice, which he co-founded. After the group split in 1985, Collins started a solo career. 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. He won an Ivor Novello Award, the Ivor Inspiration Award, in 2009. https://tinyurl.com/2z8vnam5", "location": 1, "location_name": "Default", "play_type": "trackplay" }, { "id": 3544287, "uri": "https://api.kexp.org/v2/plays/3544287/?format=api", "airdate": "2025-08-24T16:37:43-07:00", "show": 64377, "show_uri": "https://api.kexp.org/v2/shows/64377/?format=api", "image_uri": "https://ia601001.us.archive.org/21/items/mbid-548e8c9c-b897-3bb8-95be-c2a0f3796523/mbid-548e8c9c-b897-3bb8-95be-c2a0f3796523-38416531898_thumb500.jpg", "thumbnail_uri": "https://ia801001.us.archive.org/21/items/mbid-548e8c9c-b897-3bb8-95be-c2a0f3796523/mbid-548e8c9c-b897-3bb8-95be-c2a0f3796523-38416531898_thumb250.jpg", "song": "Piazza, New York Catcher", "track_id": "4d436710-d88b-3486-a6ff-d336ed8e70b3", "recording_id": "5787eb8b-7a11-48b5-a7ea-fba217f50ef2", "artist": "Belle and Sebastian", "artist_ids": [ "e5c7b94f-e264-473c-bb0f-37c85d4d5c70" ], "album": "Dear Catastrophe Waitress", "release_id": "548e8c9c-b897-3bb8-95be-c2a0f3796523", "release_group_id": "8ad0c295-a1f4-3bd2-8abb-3659320c062e", "labels": [ "Rough Trade" ], "label_ids": [ "2276f06e-f65a-4d61-9dee-9f95ff4b775c" ], "release_date": "2003-10-07", "rotation_status": "Library", "is_local": false, "is_request": false, "is_live": false, "comment": "Happy upcoming Birthday to Stuart Murdoch, who turns 57 years old tomorrow!\n\nThis song finds a guy laying out the details of a proposed elopement, and for some reason he throws in a bunch of baseball references.

His career batting average is .308, but it may have been .318 (as stated in the lyrics) when the song was written.\n\nThe line, \"The pitcher puts religion first and rests on holidays\" is probably a reference to Sandy Koufax, one of the greatest left handed pitchers of all time, who was Jewish and refused to pitch on Yum Kippur.

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.
