COMMENTS

  • You won’t boycott the new post-bands music because it’s opposed to what rock and popular music has become will you? I seldom can find a radio station or a media source that will play anything that is not safe and generic. Post-bands is music that is honest , basic, highly melodic, well crafted, and very exciting.
    Have you heard about it?

  • Why is Sony a part of this station?

    KXT is a breathe of fresh broadcast air in a DFW terrestrial raido spectrum filled with mediocrity & repitition I have XM at home & in one car that is usually tuned to the acoustic renditions of “The Coffeehouse. But now thaks to KXT my wife can enjoy quality programming in her non-XM car & I can enjoy your eclectic music & commentaries at work as we take care of the handicapped.
    Thanks for joining our listening communtiy !!

      Can I have one second? Please.

      I am curious about what others think of always having a one second gap before, after and in between songs aired. It almost seems like a part of my mind is not ready for the music with out a little anticipatory pause before taking in something potentially new and about to become part of my experience.
      To me this would be a refreshing change from what has become the norm.

      I feel privileged to explore on the trail that the insightful and eclectic musical guides of public radio and KXT lead. I can’t tell you how long I have been parched and waiting for something like what you are creating here; a radio station source for musical creativity near and far, not funneled by commerce. I am soaking it up. As if hand spooning clear water from a small shaded hidden stream and taking in the surrounding breezy greenery; site, aroma and sound.

      Please keep it flowing along the natural contours of our terrain.

      Is that too much? Well tough. Get quenched.

      Extremely appreciative,
      Dave P
