    As far as legit New Mexican radio goes, the public option on 89.1 absolutely represents, don't let…read moremy star rating fool ya. For years, this neighbor of KUNM has been pumping out the Spanish muzic jamz with abandon, and I mean, they just can't/won't/don't stop. My neighbor, a big Al Hurricane fan, makes this station her life soundtrack. If you enjoy hollering Volver, roll up your windows and turn up this station. All you really need to know: From 4am-noon, every weekday, they broadcast a good selection of NPR news and affiliated shows. After that, it's New Mexican all the way. Saturdays are the opposite, with NPR in the afternoon, and this station is a good Sunday option if you want something informative and fun, most of the day is interesting. So if you're down with Julión Álvarez Y Su Norteño Banda, tune in, and if you're looking for public programming, try tuning into the sister station on the other end of the dial, 107.5 FM.

    KANW is a public radio station operated by Albuquerque Public Schools.

It sounds like a public access station with preachers and cheesy local ads... but it isn't. There are great shows like: Humankind- David Freudberg interviews visionaries. Writer's Almanac- This is Garrison Keillor's underrated show. He talks about writers, writing, reads poetry. Native American&Spanish music Car Talk- Yes, the Car Talk guys hail from Cambridge, Massachusetts, but this a fun automotive show! Thistle&Shamrock- Celtic music There's great variety, unlike most public radio stations nowadays. It's educational and fun!

    One year ago, almost to the day, I was riding the "shuttle service" (a school bus) from a parking…read morelot to the Muertos y Marigolds parade, and I noted the bus driver was rocking "Jeremy" from Pearl Jam. Since I virtually never venture around the FM dial (oh, what a sad, sad audio scene we suffer in ABQ), I was more than a little curious about the station and I started listening. I immediately noted the following, which remain true one year later: 1) The song selection is determined by a corporate behemoth called American Public Media, they have no DJs, the music is simply pumped onto our airwaves via a local hub. On the massive negative side, it means listeners have absolutely no way to connect with and influence the content, and forget about requests. The ugly reality of modern radio. 2) On the plus side, it means absolutely no talk and very few commercials, compared to most stations. Virtually every time I tune in I'm getting music or a lame-o promo that says something like "Area 102.9, it's like if Yoda used the Force to Rock", whatever the hell that's supposed to mean. 3) Whoever chooses this music has awful taste in "modern" rock, they play the same crap that you'll find on other stations, alt-folk and electro-anthem-y stuff that drives me fucking insane (which I must suffer or face the wrath of my 16 year-old). They also have a weird fascination with the The Cure, The Police, the Red Hot Chili Peppers (a lame selection, where Kiedis raps about stupid shit), R.E.M., U2 and a smattering of 1980's Brit Pop. A third of the time, listenable. I'd say, overall, a two-to-three star station. And, unfortunately, one of the best in town.
