The best radio station in north Texas recently held a video/sound clip contest asking listeners to share why they love 91.7 KXT. Well, for me there are many reasons. But the resounding characteristic that endears me so fervently to this listener supported independent station is quite simply the music. I hear classics from some of my all-time favorite artists such as Dylan, Fleetwood Mac, Neil Young, the Zombies, Simon & Garfunkel, Joni Mitchell, Nick Drake, Floyd, Zeppelin, and the Beatles mixed in seamlessly with some of the more relatively unknown (yet equally cherished) indie acts like Wilco, the Pixies, Iron & Wine, the Decemberists, the Shins and the Gaslight Anthem. To top off an already stellar mix, KXT frequently throws in great tunes from local artists such as Midlake, Seryn, Air Review, etc.
I used to tell people that some of the best music in the world is stuff you'd never hear on the radio. KXT has me rethinking that statement. Here is the winning clip:
