Kevin Cole : Variety Mix, Mon-Fri 2-6PM
A diverse mix of new releases, "sneak-peaks" at forthcoming releases, seminal vintage tracks, rarities, b-sides, and in-studio performances. I attempt to surprise, delight, educate, and enlighten, juxtaposing seemingly
incongruous styles in a way that creates context, meaning, or a good laugh.

I've been fortunate to have spent my adulthood working in exceptional
music situations. During the eighties I was the in-house DJ at
Minneapolis's legendary First Avenue/7th Street Entry nightclub,
spinning all kinds of music--funk, punk, dance-oriented-rock, disco,
house, techno, you name it, if it was good, I played it--all with a
series of bad hairdos. During this time I also DJ'd many of Prince's
private parties (sorry, my lips are sealed), sold most of Minneapolis
their record collections via the indie and import record stores I
managed, and worked with many of the bands that played First Avenue
-I mixed R.E.M.'s sound the first time they played the club!
I was Music Director at one of the nation's first commercial
alternative stations before having the opportunity to do something
everyone dreams of--starting a radio station from scratch! We called
the station Revolution Radio (Rev 105) because we wanted to do
something revolutionary on the radio--play good music! We did, and
surprise, people loved it! Our competitor's loved it so much that
after the Telecommunications Act of 1996 (a major step in radio
deregulation) they bought us and turned the station off! While at
Rev 105 I produced and hosted numerous syndicated shows, including
the Spin Radio Network. After the evil empire shut us down, and
after a brief stay at one of the nation's most beloved radio stations,
WOXY 97X, I moved to Seattle to help Amazon.com launch their music
site and spent five plus years as Amazon.com's Senior Music Editor.
I have a record collection that rivals most record stores
(even Amazon.com!) and I love to play music of all vintages and
genres every week on my show.
I've told this story a million times, but here goes again...Leo Mota,
the Music Director at one of the countries most amazing and radical
free-form radio stations during the seventies once told me "the airwaves
are a blank canvas...paint!" I am a lonely painter, I live in a box of paints.
Seriously, I DJ because I can't paint-not on real canvas anyway, so I do
in on the airwaves. |
