My bad. Zack is the sax player for #EMEFE, not #Phosphorescent. So many bands in the halls of #KEXP. Also? They sound amazing warming up in the live room!

My new husband Will Oldham live in the KEXP studios on June 13, 2012. And wait till he hears the sweet things Baby Dee said about him in her KEXP in-studio. (But when will I learn not to wear a baseball hat now that we film most of the in-studios performances?)

Me and Bonnie “Prince” Billy, live on KEXP earlier today. We got a love thang.

This is the edited version of the Magnetic Fields in-studio I hosted in the KEXP men’s room a few weeks ago. LOVE the Yoko Ono “Flush Piece” cover.
