    Admittedly I don't listen to KFAI (90.3 fm) nearly as often as in earlier years. It may have…read moreevolved considerably over time. In fact there is a chance that at least parts are completely unrecognized by me. Regardless of its present shape, to the best of my knowledge it remains a community based, almost entirely a volunteer effort. I have found KFAI to be a source of information representing a diverse swath of voices, eclectic musical offerings and an interesting lineup of on-air talent. The signal used to be quite weak and localized. Since then I understand that it has significantly extended its reach to include most if not all of the metro. If you plan on contributing to a listener supported station, to me KFAI is well worth your consideration.

    One Sunday night, many moons ago I was just this suburban punk kid. Sitting in my room in Brooklyn…read morePark, filled with teenage angst I'm sure. It was a Sunday evening, I was laying on my bed listening to the radio and probably bored. I spun the dial all the way to the left and then I slowly started moving the dial to the right on my alarm/clock radio searching for something else. It didn't take much but I suddenly stopped it here, 90.3 FM. The song playing was Romeo Void's, Never Say Never. That guitar, drums, driving beat and suddenly that sax in the chorus was tossing my entire world of what I perceived as music. And enter the rabbit hole I did because many years down the road this station is still a mainstay. It still introduces me to music and I hear news that doesn't get played or aired anywhere else. Its local, supported by member listeners and is easily one of the most underrated things in this town. Music Nerd Fact that I learned from KFAI: You know that song "Train Kept a Rolling" made popular by Aerosmith? Well the 60's band Cream was one of the first to cover it but the original was done by Tiny Bradshaw. Yep. It was a big band song back in the day and it was bad ass. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ci4EQDD4CqA If you haven't ever listened, they can be heard streamed via the web (they also have an app), or locally at 90.3 or 106.7. Each show is also available for 2 weeks after each airing via podcast. I was gonna plug a few of my favorites but I started going through the list and thought, crap! There's too many. Seriously, if you are the into music and appreciate the likes of The Current, KEXP out of Seattle or KCRW from Santa Monica, KFAI takes that and then adds some spice and takes it to a whole new level. You really do get a new station every couple of hours as the DJ's change. Please check them out and show them your support (ie: $$$, it's always pledge week : ) http://kfai.org/programs

    Dear Lavender, As a…read morereader of your magazine for 10 years, I thought it well past due to write you in the spirit of constructive criticism. It is tempting to assess you as a "lifestyle" magazine. By this measure, you do several things quite well. Your reviews of restaurants, theater/classical music/opera performances are readable and engaging, and your calendar of events are crucial to gay-friendly businesses and organizations throughout the Twin Cities. The sophistication of your packaging (with its glossy pages and covers) makes similar queer publications in San Francisco or New York appear amateurish by comparison. But even as we hold Lavender to the "lifestyle" genre, I call for a major face lift of your publication. To many of your readers, the folks you seem to be targeting are gay + white + middle class + Christian. With few exceptions, lesbians, the trans- and bi- communities, and people of color find few images or articles that appeal to their diverse tastes, interests, and beliefs. Lavender demonstrates its loyalty to a small segment of the LGBT population in several ways. For example, your pages are front-loaded with ads for new condo developments and related services, such as realtors, home and garden supplies, and window treatments. Note: mass home foreclosures and the current credit crunch are not just figments of the heterosexual imagination. Until recently you featured a column titled "Faith in Action", which intended to highlight spirituality in the LGBT community. Unfortunately, its writer (from your targeted demographic) seemed to view the project as his own budget psychotherapy service, allowing him to air his rants against the Christian church and share his personal journeys through religion. Fortunately you exorcised his column before his conversion to the Kabbala or Scientology. Please be assured that I am not suggesting you revamp yourself into a journal of queer theory. Most of us are incapable of reading three pages of Foucault without developing a brain tumor. Nor do I recommend that you expunge those adverts for escort services, which feature shirtless models and their vacant faces. In this struggling economy those pretty boys are cat-fighting for jobs, too. But I am encouraging you to consider the possibilities of your role in the community. Why not include more stories about issues affecting the broader LGBT community? Why not strengthen your work with queer movements that have raised awareness about our issues, and continue to work for equality? Until then, I will continue to pick up each new issue of Lavender at my local coffee shop, gay bar, or restaurant. After all, despite the tone of this letter, I'll still look forward to your previews of the Guthrie season, and reviews of the newest gay owned business in town. And, of course, I want to know when's the next Miss Gay U-S-of-A pageant at the '90s.

I don't pretend to understand all aspects of life outside my orbit.. All of that aside, I have punched 89.9 into many a car radio (back in the day I used actual buttons but more recently have used GUI). Yes, it is a proud and self proclaimed advocate for Communities of Color. But anyone within range can listen:-) Home to R&B, Soul, HipHop, Rap (I think that RAP music comes out of HipHop culture but I'm not sure), Gospel, Reggae and others. I find that it offers a little something for most everyone. The signal has grown significantly over the years and now reaches most if not all of the metropolitan area from its broadcast tower. Another listener supported effort, I feel that you might want to give it some positive attention. I think that if one enjoys KMOJ for a while, you may want to contribute to its continued success.

    I can't believe I'm the first to review this! Another one of my all-time favorite things about…read moreMinneapolis/St. Paul. In my opinion, the best radio station ever. I love their mix of music; it's perfect for those who love classic rock, acoustic, some folksy stuff, and contemporary rock. Think Brandi Carlile, Augustana, Missy Higgins, Rocky Votolato, John Mayer (all some of my faves!). Plus they have the acoustic sunrise and sunset programs, which feature live performances "unplugged" -- awesome. They also have their Studio C programs, where artists stop by the studio, interview and give exclusive performances. And, my personal favorite, "Freedom Rock", where Brian Oake plays imported, indie, and new release music that I would never hear elsewhere. Not to mention Cities97 sponsors loads of events in Minneapolis, including the Basilica Block Party. Maybe its because I grew up with them since they're my dad's fave, or maybe it's because I happen to be huge fan of the music they play, but I can't get enough of this radio station -- it's another reason I'm hugely looking forward to moving back to Minneapolis!
