I hated it until I found one of those cassettes years later and the DJs voices and station identifiers (for KYYX in Seattle) were like Proust's madeleine.

my father also happened to record reporter Eric Lacitis's 90-minute 1983 set off KYYX when he played the results of his Seattle Times poll of the best party rock songs of all time, from Chubby Checker and the Beatles to David Bowie and Prince. that was my true musical education.

Kids of the 80s should love this mix. Back when our favorite music wasn't just a background jingle in a commercial now. Maybe I'm old, but this is still so good!

#NowSpinning KYYX-FM: Seattle Grown (1978)
The only act on this #RadioDaze comp I know is the catchy hardrock Rail & Company, who shortened their name. The (fake?) #punk Destroy Destruction by Feelings is cool. The rest is #newwave #electro #funk & other '70s rock. #NowPlaying #vinyl #VinylCommunity

Every once in a while, I have to revisit the music of my youth - New Wave from the early 80s.
It all started with "Blinded by Science" by Thomas Dolby, and then I found this radio station, and listened to nothing else until the very second it went off the air.

Do I still listen to #radio? As #GenX living in #Seattle you bet I do. And when it works @space101fm.bsky.social is one of my go-to 3; especially Saturday nights from 7-9pm When Mike Fuller presents #TheJetSet.
Then I'm an awkward teen again; stretched out on my bed with #sketchbooks and #comics.

The Jet Set - SPACE 101.1 FM
The Jet Set is my attempt to demonstrate what it might’ve sounded like if the DJs on Seattle’s alternative radio stations of the past (KZAM-AM, KCMU, KJET and KYYX) had total creative freedom and access to all the underground music of the mid-‘70s to late-‘80s. It’s also meant to evoke a time before each genre of music had its own scene, and you might see a Punk band opening for a Reggae band or a Surf band opening for a Rockabilly band.

This was the radio station I listened to from its inception to the moment it went off the air, and I STILL have cassettes I recorded from the radio with the music I listened to as a wee baby punklet.
The Wave KYYX 96.5FM Revisited - October 3, 1983
Recreated from an original broadcast from October 3, 1983 with restored audio from the original DJs (Moose Moran and Steve Rabow) and the original New Wave-themed commercials! All music is replaced with modern high-fidelity versions. Some songs were single mixes in the original and were too difficult to source. Some, like The World, the English-language version of Major Tom, and the Stray Cats tracks have never been available digitally in a commercial format and I had to do some work to get decent versions. As an effect I used radio compression to get it all to sound like it did back in the day and did my best to eliminate the noise and static in the DJ segments. Enjoy! I know I did! Special Thanks to Bleek for having the original tape and uploading it: https://www.spreaker.com/user/bleek/the_kyyx_tapes_1 Acknowledged and approved by DJ Stephen Rabow!

*Loved* this song back in the 80's, it was a staple on both KYYX and KJET... But had no idea how to find it because I had no idea of the actual title. Showed up in my Youtube recs last night. I may or may not have listened to it ten times by now. www.youtube.com/watch?v=RDHj...
