The EOF gang behind the coveted vinyl section of KEXP’s comprehensive music library.
For many years, Eyes on Fremont has been a proud supporter and underwriter of Seattle’s independent, listener powered radio station, KEXP. Now in their new, much-expanded studio facility, we were invited to check out what happens behind the airwaves.
Check out a few highlights from the tour our EOF gang was invited to do with Carol Dupuis and seasoned volunteer, Ken: |

An original studio keepsake of sorts: This original Nirvana “Nevermind” album secures fond memories with it’s entertaining footnotes by the DJs playing it when the album released, way back in the station’s KCMU days. It earned critical acclaim & heavy rotation stats by the these resident DJs before it made international record sales.

DJ Quilty 3000 on the air yesterday, taking a moment to explain the back scene DJ process… She’s been a resident DJ since 2003 (and a longtime EOF customer)!

We’re big fans of good music here, and KEXP has become synonymous with good music. This man, Tom Mara, has a big hand in making that good music happen at KEXP. He is the Executive Director at the radio station we have all known to grow and love. So two cheers for Tom, keeping the public radios stations of the world alive and kicking. Oh yeah this picture of Tom features his awesome new retro modern specs that we think are very befitting of a man in his business.
