“I don’t know if it’s the crisp breezes or

the bone-drenching thunderstorms, but

lately my ears have felt open and alive and

I’ve been hearing some truly beautiful

things, whether live or through the radio.

I want to take a minute to give a shout

out to WTUL, who had a phenomenal

marathon pledge drive last month. I know

I had a great time listening and anyone

brave enough to put King Louie and the

Lovey Dovies’ James Hayes in the same

studio together deserves our support (and

my check’s in the mail, I swear!). I’d also

like to mention how awesome Hunter

King and his “Storm Surge of Reverb”

show on Mondays (4 to 6 pm) is; his

enthusiasm and manic mic skills— and

of course his eclectic and unquenchable

music appetite— show why he is truly a

once-in-a-generation DJ. I wouldn’t be

writing to you now if it weren’t for certain

WTUL DJs back in the day, whose shows

I would tape on extra-long cassettes.

Some of you know what I’m talking about

because you did the same exact thing and

some of you… well, let’s just say that’s how

you ‘streamed’ music back then. Right

now it seems like WTUL has a roster of

outstanding DJs who are harnessing the

power that a university-based FM station

has for maximum effect. It’s the kind of

thing that truly sustains a scene like ours.”
