Last night's Indie Penchant!
All LGBTQIA+ artists (well, two allies). A lot of brand-new releases.
Everything that could go wrong on the mic did, but the music was AWESOME!
Tune in again in 2 weeks for part 2 of LGBTQIA+ -- featuring more locals.

Sara spins indie pop, rock and folk -- music outside the commercial mainstream. Every other Thursday evening.

2019 Tiny Desk winner Quinn Christopherson will be at the Out & About Festival at Wolf Trap on June 22.
(Mad props to Bob Boilen, our new station Program Director, who was at the Tiny Desk helm in 2019).
Quinn's songs deal with his native heritage (Alaska) and the way the world has changed its perceptions of him now that he is a "passing" trans man (suddenly everyone thinks he knows everything and does not question his opinions etc.).

Hailing from Anchorage, Alaska, Christopherson is a thoughtful songwriter with a powerful sense of perspective.

New release from Tara L. Key and Antietam today.
And tomorrow, Antietam turns 40 years old!

If you order today, Bandcamp waives its revenues, and all $ goes to the artist.
Per bandcamp site:
"Bandcamp Fridays began in March of 2020 at the height of the Covid-19 pandemic when the shuttering of venues led to a loss of vital tour revenue for artists. Bandcamp Fridays—on which we waive our revenue share and pass the funds directly to artists & labels—has resulted in millions of fans paying over $120 million directly to labels and musicians they love."

HOWEVER, THE NEXT BANDCAMP FRIDAY IS NOT UNTIL SEPTEMBER 2024.

Indie Penchant on Takoma Radio is coming up this Thursday!
Don't turn it up too loud.

I didn't even go to a loud rock concert until I was...in my 20s? And I think my hearing has been affected.

We long ago took action to protect our lungs. It’s time we did the same for our ears.

Subbing enables you to see other DJs you either haven't met or haven't seen in a long time. It was nice to see the hosts of Soul Sonic after a long time. They played a cool all-women (and/or "female-fronted') set: https://spinitron.com/WOWD/pl/18651627/The-Soul-Sonic-Show
