I’ve been meaning to do this for a while… Paid up my $90.30 for a KEXP membership. Since they’re a nonprofit affiliated with the University of Washington, it’s tax deductible — and I get a cool hat. Yes, I know it will not make me look any younger. Internet radio (and secondarily, easynews, thanks Veen) has changed my music listening habits entirely. That is, I actually listen to new music now, because I can tune into incredible stations like KEXP, smoothbeats, and Radio Tango no matter where they (or I) happen to be, and find out about all sorts of new, cool music. Sure, free things are great, but I think that people are ready and willing to pay for things they get real value from, and I’m happy to sling these sites a few bucks for all the work they do. I also support tinyapps.org.
