    There is something really magical when the bass guitar is a lead instrument. Pretty rare but amazing when it happens.

    Cheryl Waters is the gold standard of radio hosts. She's engaging and asks insightful questions that invoke sincere and thoughtful responses. In fact, KEXP has some of the greatest interviewers I think I've ever heard. There's a maturity and style throughout the team that seems to be ingrained in the culture at KEXP. But the queen of class is Cheryl. Thanks again for a wonderful session. Additionally, I think Kevin Suggs is my hero. Please pass this message onto them, if you happen to see it.

      Agreed. The only thing I sometimes find entertaining and easy to poke fun of is how much she nerds out about certain acts, with her immense passion. Sometimes I laugh cuz it comes off as fan-girlish, but it's reflective of how truly engaged she is with the bands and the sound, which is ultimately inspiring. She's awesome.

    • @Stibsyt
      @Stibsyt 5 лет назад +3

      Totally agree, the sound Suggs gets is incredible across such a diverse range of acts. And I'm all for passion in broadcasting, especially of the Cheryl variety. Hearts on sleeves? Yeah, works for me!

      I would like to respond to leighton lee's reply about future Islands band frontman.

  • @fordummieslikeme7575
    @fordummieslikeme7575 6 лет назад

    This latest album seems too tame I think the new producer may have throttled them back without realizing it.. this band is meant to be raw the music needs to have the highs and lows of a live performance it feels to restrained and level.. I think however with a minor mindset adjustment they can get back to the old more raw style that gained them their Fame but I'm sure they're still really great live but I just think sometimes bands once they get a certain amount of success and start workibg with new producers lose the magic in their quest for change. I'm over 50 and I've seen it happen since the 70s..
