A place for everything, and everything in its place.
Caffeine in hand. Accidental and adventurous. Unstaid and unsettled. Experimental and empirical. Occasionally flustered but always passin' muster. Dammit Jim, I'm a simple country DJ, not a miracle worker! Get your radio-fu here!
"Hey, you got shoegaze in my power-pop!!" "Well you got power-pop in my shoegaze!" It’s Curt’N’Flip— two musical tastes that taste great together, popping up on the airwaves when you least expect them. Also, occasionally the hosts of Why Baby Why when no one’s looking.
Good morning Mr. Phelps. Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to listen. From the deepest darkest heart of the mission come the throbbing beats of something old, something new, something borrowed and something blue. All for you.

Don't be weird in my inbox.
What you hear is only most of what you get; requests, mostly of the rockin' kind, are incredibly welcome. It's opinion scattered among caffeinated punk, hip-hop, ska, country, rap, rockabilly and practically anything else thrown at the listeners like so much rotten, yet strange, fruit. Run-on sentences are a way of life!
All killer, no filler. Lots of local bands; no ragas.
Bits and pieces from the KALX Public Affairs department's archives.
Live in the KALX studio, local musicians of varied styles perform at the beginning of the show (9 pm to approximately 10:30 pm). Then at around 10:30 pm there will be a live broadcast from a local club and/or rerun of a previously taped live performance from a local venue.
Let's waste some time together. Or not. Eat rocks.
Psychedelic guitar freakouts, free jazz blowouts, and anything and everything in off-kilter pop, soul, funk. Tune in and join me out in deep leftfield.
Always some classical, a lot of punk, a mixture of anything else weird or funny or mood-of-the-day, plus a lot of very inane commentary. Usually there's something French too.
A love letter to a wiener dog. If that wiener dog wore a monocle. Or got really mad. Or had an indie rock mop do. Or danced on a beach in Japan. Or yodeled. Or rode a Triumph. Or was a Bollywood star. Or climbed Kilimanjaro. Or just ate a really good snack.
Musical musings and secret feelings welcome: madamexie@gmail.com
"Radio has helped to make people fixated on one particular kind of a sound and one particular kind of a style. And, a lot of people today, since music education is virtually nonexistent in public schools, they don't even know what they've been missing in terms of music from other cultures, music from America from other periods, (and) different styles. You may not like it all, but if you don't even know that it exists, how are you going to make up your mind?" - Frank Zappa
