The animals are together at last—and I’m not talking about Eric Burdon and company reuniting to hit the casino circuit. KEXP’s Spring Fundraising Drive kicks off this Friday, and as a special thank you gift to donors who contributor $100 or more, we’re offering a brand new kids T-shirt.

The music we hear is becoming part of our family history and I love that, and that's why I will continue to support KEXP.”
I’m looking forward to hearing why listener-powered KEXP is important to you. Please take a moment to make your gift of support right now and share the reasons you power KEXP. Your donation today will count towards the Spring Drive—and helping us reach out goals faster means more time for enjoying Grizzly Bear, Tame Impala, Cat Power and more “music that matters.”

All of the bands featured on this compilation have donated their profits to support listener-po…
