That meant KPFA and the tunes played by all their anarchy-loving genius student DJs. This was the foundation – cutting my teeth on the MC5, the Stooges, and then Ramones, Talking Heads, and Television. I was a stagehand for the Berkeley Community Theater and worked the first concert by the Clash in the US. I also moshed and bled at the Sex Pistols’ last concert at the Cow Palace. Side B is an homage to KPFA and that time in my life.\n<br><br>\nTake all of that insanity from Berkeley in the 70s and sedate it with college, work, marriage, kids, and yet . . . the nature of rocket fuel is to explode and propel. KEXP was the spark, and the love of great music overcame a long hibernation. As a KEXP member, I’ve been to great concerts put on by KEXP and starring Sufjan Stevens, Ghostland Observatory, Arcade Fire and many others. Side A is the soundtrack of reawakening to my music-loving self, with full credit to the heroes of the dial at KEXP. Notice that all cuts are from the Live at KEXP compilation discs.\n<br><br>\nAs for the bonus tracks: the disc wouldn’t be complete without Common Market’s shout-out to KEXP’s awesome DJs… and a Message that remains all too relevant today.
