Greetings KPND-
I am a current Outdoor Education instructor for an International School located in Dalian, China. I have been living in China for over a year now. Before moving internationally, I lived in Sandpoint for a handful of years. I recollect my time in Sandpoint very fondly. It was where I first learned to ski, where I grew an even deeper appreciation of nature and the wilderness and where I spent some very formative years of my life. Most importantly, I fell in love with a beautiful Sandpoint woman while I was there. She taught me some of the most beautiful lessons of life. One of our favorite activities together would be to go on drives and hike mountains around north Idaho. Inevitably, we would always have KPND on the radio and we would jam together.
Since my time working in China, I have always tuned into KPND for the good music, the weather reports and the local news. It makes me feel somewhat grounded in this big world. I always look forward to hearing Vic’s voice come on the broadcast in the mornings because that means its nearly time for me to go to bed here in China. Thank you to your radio station for making me feel close to Sandpoint and for helping me remember such a special Sandpoint lady named Callie.
Keep up the good work!
Best,
Brooks
Lost the reception in CDA today… I will move out of the area. Curious what the problem is seems some cheap biassed station my have run u over. I listened to KRSH north of SF. And if I can’t listen to kpnd I will move away. Seriously..
I am looking for your station/broadcast on a Grace Digital Internet radio that uses the Reciva radio station listing and just wondering if your station is listed on that service. I have searched using your call sign KPND and 95.3 with no luck then looked under the Alternative genre but no success.

You can swing by anytime next week, if that works for you.
I have to say it, I listen to your station hours a day at home and in the car. I love everything about it-except for the guy on the sports segment of the show. He treats Vic like she does not know her sports. I like what she adds to the show, and handles his subjective knowledge that he seems to consider superior knowledge, with grace.
I find it offensive when guys act this way about sports, when Most of their input is their personal opinion and the minority of objectivivity is crammed down other’s throat while putting themselves above others who are willing to talk sports. Good job Vic for letting it roll off…the other guy may be your friend but as a listener, he just seems pompous and disrespectful.
Thanks for your comments. We’ll take those into consideration for future improvement.

I agree Chris Chapburn is a joke!! No talent hack. Obvious he’s never competed in organized sports. Guys like him chirp about athletes and sports not being interesting or competitive. Soccer in particular he has trouble with. Boring says the hack who was never good enough to participate in organized sports. Cheerleader, drum major, Pom Pom boy ,water boy, He is a GOLFER!! Wow what a workout!! He would last maybe 3 minutes! His best position on his team is Left Out.
Awesome! I just found your site, I have heard KPND back in the old days.. (1997) and I was trynig to see if Uncle Larry was still in radio, and he’s at KPND! Loved Uncle Larry on KEZE back in the early 90’s! Right on KPND! And Sandpoint/ CDA is heaven!
KPND is the best radio station ever, which is why I became a VIP member during the first days the new web site was up and running. I am a daily listener, I am curious about your newest contest for VIP members (also your last, with the golf clubs), from the way it sounds, it is for NEW VIP members only? My husband says it is for all VIP members it is just that the site is new. which is correct? If it is only for new VIP members, isn’t that a little unfair to your loyalist of fans, that don’t need a bribe to become a fan/member?
#loyal listener
Hi Vesta. All of our VIP/web contests include ALL members, not just the new ones signing up. Thanks for being a loyal listener.
Hey Marie, hope you are doing well! My name is Michael Krahn. I won the travelers rest package, and thanks for that. However; have not received gas card yet, if it hasn’t mailed yet I would like to gift that to Christine C. Sincerely, Michael Krahn…
Christine, that hosts the Sunday Brunch?
YES!
I’m trying to sign up for the VIP club and I’m having issues
Try again. You should be good to go.
Could you let me know when that house flipping ad is out of rotation? I’ll be tuning out until then….just can’t take it anymore. ..
I believe this is the last day it runs. If not, today, tomorrow at the latest.
I love that there is finally a station that plays Indie! All of the other stations in Spokane have been playing nothing but classic rock or 80s. Thank you so much for providing an alternative!
Hi! My name is Maks and I am a musician living in The Netherlands.
I have been playing as a drummer in rock bands for a big part of my life.
After the splitting up of my most recent band in 2012, I went on a small tour through the USA as a stand-in drummer in a blues-rock band. During this trip I decided I was going to write my own material and see where this could lead to…
The learning curve was pretty steep, I must say. Besides learning how to play a bit of decent guitar and keyboards, I also had to cope with my vocals. Perhaps my greatest challenge was to find my singing voice :)…
However, my hard work paid off and I am very proud to have finished my first solo CD “3Ft No Diving”, which is already available in a number of web shops via CDbaby.
You can listen to the tracks at http://WWW.MAKSAGENCY.COM
If you would like to receive a CD by mail or the digital tracks by Wetransfer, feel free to let me know.
I am quite sure that you receive loads of mail in any form and shape, but I would really appreciate it, if you could find the time to listen to the CD and let me know what you think of it.
Regards,
MAKS
I was listening in my car today (Sep 15) about 2.10 pm. I’d like to know the female artist and name of her song. It was the song that preceded The Fixx’s “One Thing Leads to Another”. Thx in advance.
FYI – love your station!
The song that played after The Fixx was NEW SONG by WARPAINT. Glad you liked it and thanks for listening!
I needed to know the song that played before the Fixx song.
Oh well.
What was the name of the Pearl Jam song you played around 10:15 this morning? I’ve heard it more than once on your station but have never heard the title. It sounds so much like While We Cry by Kenny Wayne Shepard. Thanks.
It’s called Yellow Ledbetter. Glad you liked it and thanks for listening.
Absolutely no other station that compares to KPND! I’m almost 70, a musician for most of my life and this is the best format I have ever heard! (I used to travel extensively and I never found any other music format that is as good!
Thanks !
terry w. shaver
ps. (if anyone there is a Rush fan, they should check out a new band from LA called YYNOT ! Great band and great people!)
Thank you so much for the kind words. I think everyone here is a Rush fan…we’ll check it out!
Have a great week,
Marie McCallister
Your VIP sign up page isn’t working. Is there another way to sign up?
Try again. The link became inactive after the contest was over. Thanks for participating.
On your main page, there’s a box on the right side that says “KPND VIP Club – sign up now!” When I click it, I get a 404, page not found. Gosh, so easy to sign up…
Try again. The link became inactive after the contest was over. Thanks for participating.
You shouldn’t broadcast news that isn’t updated- for example today on 11/22/17 in the AM it your newsguy reported that a man was wanted from Lewiston who was involved in a double homicide. In fact the guy had been apprehended and arrested on Tuesday 11/21/17 . I’m not sure if you are pre-recording these news bytes but it really isn’t newsworthy if if isn’t current information.
Thanks for the info. Normally, the news breaks are recorded about an hour before they air. It could be that he just didn’t have the undated info..
Every weekend i used to visit this web site, as i want enjoyment,
for the reason that this this site conations really pleasant funny data too.
Thank you for listening.
You played a song by the Smithereens yesterday, dec 15 at about 8:45 a.m. It was awesome but I didn’t catch the name and I had to shut my radio off as I was getting an oil change.
Cant find it on I tunes or youtube. I want to hear it again. Your sports guy played to I think
help please
It was “Gloomy Sunday” from God Save the Smithereens. Glad you liked it and thanks for listening.
Good morning!
My husband and I caught your station on December 14th as we drove over the Idaho Panhandle on our way to Bellingham, Washington. We were able to listen quite a distance past Ritzville, WA, and heard the entire Radio Deli which highlighted all things monkey related! LOVED! IT!
It was truly a delight to hear an INDEPENDENT station that plays fabulous music not heard on mainstream radio.
THANK YOU to Blue Sky Broadcasting, and to all of its fine on-air artists. I can now enjoy your station 24/7 online.
Merry Christmas, and may 2018 bring great things to you all!
Thank you for your kind words and taking the time to write. Happy to have you as a new listener and Happy New Year!
Tried to listen via radio, online, and apps to kspt talk show today and could not find ANY way to listen in. Highly disappointed as today’s segment was one I was really looking forward to hearing. No apps could fund your station when I searched. Google just kept linking me to other apps and your website only has the option to listen to kpnd and even that doesn’t stream properly. It keeps timing out on me.
We currently don’t have any apps available for streaming our AM stations. Who was the host & the guest you were hoping to hear? I can check to see if it was recorded and if so, we can burn a copy for you (for a $10 fee).
I want thank KPND for the Whitewater lift tickets that I won at the KPND Ski Party at Trinity. My girlfriend and I went last weekend and had a phenomenal time! Serious powder day!
Thanks again,
Nick
Larry:
Had to look it up, it was Entwistle. At least we knew it wasn’t the main too, but we’re getting old… 🙂
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boris_the_Spider
I missed who the new artist was today at noon, could you let me know? Thanks for the help.
I like listening to you but the station rose my esteem tonight when I heard you playing the “sanitized” version of Mumford & Sons (big hit) song tonight. I bop to that song but always feel somewhat assaulted by the F bomb in the main refrain. Thank you for bleeping it out. I was really impressed. Things have become so crass in our society…it was a pleasant surprise 🙂
Thank you for the comments. There are a lot of songs out these days with profanity and we always clean them up before airing. Have a great day and thanks for listening.
Marie
I am loving this new song – Breathless! And he is from my Canadian Province! Way to GO! I think he’s got a really great voice…
Good morning! Heard my name was called last night for a contest! But cannot get through on any phone lines! Not sure if I am too late to claim it or not. Cheers!
Recently, your abacast station has stopped working with Firefox on W10. It seem to be linked to FF rolling out v61.0. It still runs on FF on my old Linux box and on MS Edge on W10.
I tried to find any kind of support for Abacast, to let them know, but abacast.net and abacast.com don’t seem to wok. Please look into this for a fix, since FF is my preferred browser.
Your music selection has gotten very whiney and twangy. You’re slowly losing this listener. What’s up with the obvious focus on country?
There’s no intentional focus on country. Sometimes it’s the music trend at the moment, sometimes it’s the jock on the air choosing the songs. Is there a certain time of day or day of the week when it seems more noticeable to you? Or is just a random observation?
Thanks for your input.
July 8 2018 Sunday Brunch: YUMM!!! Great show this morning — thank you!
LIstening to KPND this morning and heard the name John Christoper Kowsky. I’m thinking “is that the same guy from AM radio in the 70’s?” Dang! Welcome back! You’ve been playing tunes for me for over 40 years. Thanks and thanks KPND.
Yes, one and the same. We lured him out of radio retirement to work part-time for us. Thanks for taking the time to comment!
Hi to the Kpnd station , just went to the cheap trick/ Joan Jett concert on you guys ! Thanks again. , It was a great show and had alot of fun,
Just thought you should be made aware that you lose my listenership every time the commercial with Mitch from Auto credit sales plays. I hear his voice and immediately change the station or switch to Pandora. That commercial is so irritating I can’t sit through it. I hope their advertising dollars are worth the listeners you lose.
Sincerely,
Carrie Knaggs
Listening to the Auto Credit Sales.com advertisement right now, and throughout every day. This is the most irritating advertisement I’ve ever heard. Listening to that ad is like listening to fingernails on a chalk-board. I understand the approach (attract listeners). This ad is so irritating, it is painful to listen to, and makes me want to go out-of-my way to Never buy anything from Auto Credit Sales.com. Your advertiser needs to re-think their ad. Be humorous or clever, but Loud-Obnoxious-Irritating like fingernails on a chalk-board is a sure way for folks to remember them, as someone not to do business with. My $0.02.
Hello KPND, is it true you guys will be moving your transmitter to a new mountain, as per radio-locator’s info , and be authorized to run 100kw?
Yes, the process is in the works, but will take several months. Thanks for inquiring.
I am so HAPPY to find your radio station! I live in Deer Park and am SICK of the same 8 songs from the usual stations to which I’ve always listened. I was channel surfing one day and came across music that I had not heard before! What?!? Needless to say, my car radio preset was changed along with the radio in my RV! Thank you for this fresh programming. I just KNEW there were other musicians out there that I was missing in my life!
Hey Robbi, I’m so glad you found us. Thanks for the nice words and feel free to call or email us with requests or try to win some of our great ticket giveaways!
Aloha ALL of you …..
Listen (stream) almost every day & nite too …
Live on Big Island Hawai’i..
Great selections & goood vibrations..
Mahalo Nui (thank you ) !!
Would love to contact JCK….worked with him at 97 KREM in the 1970’s.
This is No. Idaho people.
Everytime you play rap I change the station.
What songs specifically are you referring to? We don’t play rap, but there may be some free-stylin’ within a few songs.
Would love to hear a shout out (or several shouts) for Stephen Kellogg, playing at the Bartlett on 3/25/19. Thanks!
I am moving to Sandpoint and so began listening to KPND over the internet. So nice to have an independent local station! My one comment is that I can barely hear DJs Vic and Michelle in the morning. Like their microphone level is set too low. I have to turn up the volume to hear what they are saying then the music or commercial comes on and blasts the neighborhood! I listened to KFOG San Francisco for years and they were labeled World Class Rock. Then they changed and I moved and they were history. Glad to have that vibe back!
Thanks for listening. We’ll pass along the info to Vic and Diane. Welcome to Sandpoint!
Why doesn’t KPND or Blue Sky list any of our concerts at the festival of Sandpoint in your concert tab on the web page
They will be listed.
Don’t know if there’s anything you guys can do about this, but wanted to let you know I get pretty bad reception in the Millwood area. I assume it’s because Beacon Hill is blocking me. The absolute worst spot is at the corner of Trent and Fancher (and going up the overpass to the south over the railroad tracks). In that spot I actually get one and sometimes two other stations that seem to overpower your signal. Don’t know if you can talk to the FCC about that or anything. Thanks!
Just love the Joe Cocker version of Feelin’ Alright. Apparently that’s some guy named Artie Butler who does that great piano part. Thanks for playing it. (And by the way, I particular like the Traffic, Blind Faith, Dave Mason, Yes era of English rock. More, please.) — Tom G.
This past winter 2019 you played a song that I really liked. It had to do with how we treat immigrants and closing our borders and race inequality and the current government. Any idea what song or artist I might be talking about?
Possibly Land of the Free by The Killers??
Hi
Been listening for 12 years or more. Realizing that there can be format changes for stations but will ask why I don’t hear Jason Isbell, Amos Lee more on the playlist. KPND was where I first heard Isbell; John Moreland, ..just listen to his stuff; hope to hear more from some of these great talents. thanks for listening. best, John Rockwell
Love the program… your all incredible. Been a staunch listener for seven years now since I moved over from the coast. I just wanted to say thank you for airing the Gospel Mission Recovery Program. My wife and I advocate for the homeless and mental health. That five year mark is the deal breaker, truly. I have been in recovery for 29 years, and my life could not be better. Recovery is doable. We need so much help in the media, and boots on the ground to truly make a difference. 64, 000 died last year to drug overdose and the death toll continues to rise, that’s just narcotics, another 77,000 died to alcohol related issues. The stigma lives and the numbers grow. Thank you for making a difference, even the smallest act helps in this ongoing epidemic battle.
Peace,
Patrick.
Hi, from Scotland, UK!!
Next week a new digital release (co- written by me) is due out.
“OCTOBER” by ALAN FORRESTER AND STEAMER LANE
has been arranged and produced by SPOKANE’S own JORDAN COLE of THE ASSOCIATION. Jordan sings all background harmonies and all the instruments.
Might you give it airplay? Lead vocals recorded in Scotland, all else recorded in Spokane.
I heard a song on KPND (I believe) by a Native American artist, Camas Spring (or Camas Springs). However, I am unable to find her on the internet. Could you direct me to where I could find her music?
Christmas music on a Saturday night before Thanksgiving? Really? Count me out. No more radio for me.
We haven’t played any Christmas music yet. What did you hear?
Uncle Larry I finally won something from you, tickets to the Cda New Year’s Eve gala. Dress to the nines and enjoy the buffet before the music you’re tickets will be on will call. All week the wife and I were so excited. She gets a mani/pedicure and shops for new outfit. I find a new suit we get a Airbnb in Cda so we can use Uber. The day finally comes and we Uber to the resort stand in line for will call tickets and they can’t find me on the list! Come to find out it was at the Cda inn. It was with out a doubt the most humiliating thing that has ever happened to me!! Lucky for me I have a wonderful wife and we made the best of it. By the way we were not the only couple to think it was at the resort
Sorry for your misunderstanding. With CDA names so similar, it’s understandable. We had been talking about the CDA Inn’s party and running commercials for it for quite awhile beforehand. I hope you had a good time regardless and enjoyed your New Year’s Eve!
Absolutely love the station. But I live in Denver and have to stream it. The stream is having major issues now since the new year. It can’t stay locked on.. keeps buffering etc. Please see what you can do. Thanks so much.
Blake
I remember listening to KPND back when we lived up near Bonners Ferry from around 2008 – 2011. I just realized I could listen on my smart speaker. KPND is the best radio station ever. I have heard so many great artists for the first time on KPND. Thank you!
Thank you for the comment! Glad you’re listening on your smart device. We love technology!
KPND was my default station at work, in the car, at home, etc… something changed over the years, whether it was my taste in music, dj styles, monotony with styles or what, but I faded away as a listener including as an app user. Carona virus motivated me to seek new, playlist quality music, more music, less talk. In summary: I’ve had KPND on non-stop now for over two weeks and absolutely loving it, even more that I did back in the day! What ever you did, are doing… please keep doing! Thanks for radio worth listening to – again!
Though we really haven’t made any major adjustments to the format, we’re always striving to do better with tweaks here and there. Thanks for your comments. They are much appreciated!
Love you all, listening on the laptop sometimes the Artist and Track are displayed, sometimes not. ??
I would really love to have the top 95 songs of 2020. Did I hear you say you would share them out if we email you? How do I get them?
I listen to Kpnd all the time and like the variety,especially the blues,rock and Indy ! Did anything happen to the signal this year? I can no longer receive KPND on my old school receivers at home ,which I enjoyed!! I live in Blanchard and we had a fire on Hoodo mt in the summer. I don’t have WiFi here and I m bummed! Any news would b cool.
Listen to KPND constantly at work and in car. Diehard fan but some honest feedback, do you intentionally make your streaming suck so people cant use it? Just asking because it continually stops and my apple airbook and I have to back and restart it, sometimes like today, every few minutes. Its a shame to have such a nice vibe and such a spotty medium for delivery.
If I’m doing something wrong please tell me, I’ll happily eat my words and tune in. Thanks BB
I just heard another add for the Sunday Brunch. You used to have a brunch show. Then you moved it earlier. I’m not up and ready to listen to the radio before 10am on Sundays. The show now ends at 11am. That’s nonsense.
Also, vote? We used to be able to call it. Now it’s only on FB. I do not have an FB account and aren’t interested in it. Since you don’t even broadcast the show live, FB, your web site, and even just somebody answering the phone, should all be used to take in votes.
Just found your station and you guys play GREAT MUSIC!! Thank you!
Hello – just wondering why in your ad for their upcoming concert at the Pavilion, you call my favorite band The Counting Crows. It’s just Counting Crows. Otherwise, keep up the great work, love your station!
You should check out a new and upcoming local (Hayden, Idaho) artist Sydney Dale. She has produced her first album and is releasing a song each month. Tomorrow “Tell Me to Stay” drops on all streaming platforms. Her Album is Simple Little Things, which is also her title track. She’s a 14 year old singer songwriter and all but two songs on the album are originals.
Hi,
I just wanted to take a few moments to tell you that this weeks Sunday brunch was great. Also this mornings show (Tuesday) was great.
Honestly, I was beginning to have doubts about your music. Same stuff all the time, just like the other stations. May be different music but over and over and over. These two resent shows were the best I’ve heard from KPND in a while. Thank you!
Cool website.
I wish requests could be made via text or email. I want to hear some Baby’s or John Waite music and I think KPND is the only cool enough station to play that stuff.
Best station in inland NW.
So thrilled to have re-discovered you! Used to listen, but could only get your station when I was in Sandpoint or Cd’A delivering Pepperidge Farm cookies and crackers to the grocery stores. Never knew that in ’08 you licensed in Deer Park and boosted your signal. FM radio had become so dull and repetitive that I turned to AM. talk radio after I sold my business and stopped making regular trips to Idaho. How ironic that it took the purchase of a car with a bad AM radio to prompt me to tool around the FM dial again. When I tune in and hear Dave Matthews, The Wallflowers, a new Billy Idol tune, The Pretenders, and B.B. King all in ONE DAY, I know I’ve died and gone to radio heaven. Long live the few remaining independent stations with eclectic playlists! Now how about some Allman Brothers, Tedeschi Trucks Band, Joe Bonamassa, Buddy Guy, Keb Mo, David Byrne and/or Talking Heads, Jeff Healy, The Band and all of their individual solo projects, Tom Waits, …..on and on. Thank you for being there. You’re the ONLY station in the INW that has a CLUE.
Marvin Gaye??? Oh hell yeah! Love you guys
Love that you play older Michael Franti and Widespread Panic! Keep up the great music!
it’s a shame your format has turned to panty waif twink music 8 of 10 songs played seem like picked by big city pre prog soft so called rock programmers , last winter you were playing great hard drivin boogie blues alternative new stuff like commonwealth-8 miles a gallon ,, bonedog-Ridin , Big head todd -Boom Boom , Brice Janey – just another fine day , Gitty Fischer and the thompson brothers- Caddilac groove , Cassie Taylor- thats my man . Highway Jones – cry of love , Eddie Martin – ice cream , Eli Cook – high in the mornin , Jimmy cornett&the deadman – forgotten child . Gary Clark jr -Don’t owe you a thing… . there is a few songs that people want to hear and there are hundreds more just as good , SO how bout dropping the depressing ,average quality at best music you seem to have started playing in the last couple months and get back to something that stomps and makes you feel great, otherwise myself and many others will point our 1/2 wave FM antennas in another direction. Rick ( elected as the one to send you this note . If you need more ideas on GOOD music , feel free to ask.
Our music playlist has not changed over the years, except for new music that comes in on a regular basis. We never played the songs on your list, except for Boom Boom by Big Head Todd, so perhaps you have us confused with another station. But thanks for taking the time to comment. Your opinion is always appreciated.
Just wondering why you rarely mention Sandpoint anymore. Used to have pint nights in town as well.
We still have a lot of Sandpoint content, but we increased our radio coverage with an antenna boost not long ago and now cover more of the Spokane/CDA metro. Since Covid, we’ve had very few parties, mostly due to the clients not wanting to host "super spreader" events. We only had two this year and that’s it for 2022. Hopefully, maybe next summer, we’ll have more. Thanks for inquiring.
I would like to thank KPND for airing "5 things you can do to thank a teacher" today. I have been a teacher for 11 years and have certainly felt the weight of responsibility without the gratitude. Two of the biggest suggestions I heard, going to board meetings and being involved in your child’s education, like making sure their homework is completed, would make an incredible impact on education as a whole as well as our lives as teachers. Remember, the kids in our classrooms, K-12, are your future. Help us to invest in them.
Coffee and chocolate are for sure bonuses! 🙂
Again, thank you KPND. To all those who will be going back to school soon or who are already there, have a safe and successful year. God bless!
Dear KPND advertising department,
I have always enjoyed listening to your radio station tremendously since the early 80s…eclectic music, numerous giveaways, good programming, lots of support for our Sandpoint community. I even liked to listen to you via streaming while on the road and in other locales. However…
I am no longer listening to your station since I heard a political advertisement recently. Should you return to commercial advertising with a commitment to no longer advertise for political campaigns, I would like to know. I am sure it is a balance to fund your station with advertising needs; however, integrity counts. In the meantime, I will turn to listening other radio stations while I move about my day.
With sadness,
Ann
I came here to express the same opinion. I’m not listening to the horrible political ads for the next month and a half. I’d rather listen to out of tune polka music day and night. See you again in November, I guess.
By law, enforced from the Federal Communication Commission (FCC), we have to give equal access for air time on all commercial radio stations, regardless of political affiliation. We don’t air very many political ads on KPND and will continue to do the best for the communities we serve.
Well, I get it. The laws suck. Maybe they can get changed. You’re my favorite radio station but I seriously can’t listen to lies. And I won’t let my kids listen to them either. Sorry for the hard spot you’re in. Appears we’re all in a hard spot these days. Make sure to vote people!
As an independent station I actually thought you wouldn’t need or want to broadcast paid political ads. It seems contrary to your entire musical focus and intention of bringing eclectic entertainment to your listeners. We hear enough about politics on every other media. I prefer listening to tunes of great variety, information about and support of local events, camaraderie of the DJs and their nostalgia bits.

Listening to an ad for Lost in the 50’s 2023 just now at noon 5/17/23 the announcer talked of an event at the 219. He said: "Two, One, Nine." Instead of the: "Two Nineteen." His out of town origin is showing.
I’m a relatively new listener; KPND has become my number one go-to station! I love the mix of oldies (I’m a product of the 60’s and owe my soul to rock ‘n roll), new (to me) music, and some of the obscure tunes you play. You don’t seem to have one of those intolerable, repetitive Top-40 playlists; in fact, your station reminds me of the 60’s "underground" FM stations (when mainstream rock was on AM!) . The main reason I’m writing is because you played "Tana Mana" by the Ravi Shankar Project…I have never, ever heard any radio station play anything by Ravi Shankar!! And, later you played "Dandelion" by the Rolling Stones; another tune that’s not in the Top-40 and, therefore, is almost never played on most rock stations! I’m impressed; you’ve made me want to listen to the radio more regularly again…thanx
Your recent run of advertising leaves a lot to be desired. Yeah it’s great that "big almond" has bought a block of ad space from you but do you seriously have to play the same ad seven times in a row?
Thank you Marie for continuing the KPND tradition of playing Alice’s Restaurant on Wednesday before Thanksgiving Radio Deli!!!!
Glad to do it!
Please stop playing that terrible Beatles song. It just proves why they broke up, they were going different directions and were incapable of agreeing on anything other than bland, trite, nonsense.
Now, the new Stones song, they may be in their 70s but at least they want to be together and put out music. That’s good.
