Flotation Device interview with Anna Thorvaldsdottir

April 7, 2025 - 10:44 am

Flotation Device interview with Anna Thorvaldsdottir If Björk is Iceland’s best-known pop singer, then Anna Thorvaldsdottir is its best-known composer, noted for her visceral music that conveys—in its own distinctive way—the sounds of the sea and the mountains that surrounded her growing up in a small coastal town. She joined Flotation Device host Michael Schell

DJ Chairman Moe Appreciation Post

Chairman Moe

March 31, 2025 - 6:00 am

DJ ChairmanMoe has been a part of the KBCS family since 2009, when his first show “Recycled Music” made its debut. At the time, the theme was Cover Tunes, and his show featured the music you loved, just not the way you remember hearing it. It was a good run but the show seemed to lose a little steam. In 2017, a format change was due and (at the encouragement of KBCS management) a new show format was launched under the title, Chairman Moe, with a focus on 80’s music, deep-diving into the world of post punk, early goth, power pop, garage/jangle and anything else that doesn’t typically appear on a AI-generated playlist from a corporate service.

Dear Friends and Loyal KBCS Supporters

I am writing this newsletter after completing and submitting our required annual audit for the Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB) Community Services Grant (CSG). The CPB, a key supporter of public broadcasting, oversees the audit process to ensure transparency and accountability. I am happy to report that this audit performed by an independent auditing firm confirms that we have ended our fifth year with another balanced budget and a healthy surplus to add to our emergency contingency fund. I will post this audit online on our homepage once the CPB completes its review and approval process. Our CSG grant from the CPB for this new year is estimated to be around $128,000.00, a substantial portion of our overall operating budget for our fifty-plus-year-old independent community radio station in the Pacific Northwest.
