Today KEXP unveils the latest in listener-powered fashion—and the mascot for our 2015 Fall Fundraising Drive: Space Bear!New York designer Emma Whitney created the “Space Bear” T-shirt, which also glows in the dark, exclusively for music lovers who power KEXP during the Fall Drive. Starting today, it can be yours when you donate $100 or more to power great music on KEXP.
Longtime listeners may recall that this isn’t KEXP’s first foray into outer space. NASA astronaut Dr. Stan Love took a copy of Live at KEXP Volume Three with him to the International Space Station and shared his "Playlist for Space Travel" with us in 2010. And with your support, DJ Sharlese has taken the KEXP Community on a pair of interplanetary adventures via her "Space Is the Place" and "Space Propaganda!" editions of the Music That Matters podcast, in 2011 and 2013 respectively.
No doubt you’ll hear more songs about space travel, astronauts, and aliens when the Fall Drive kicks off this Friday at 6:00 a.m. But you don’t need to wait until then to show your support for great music — donate $100 or more today and soon you’ll be able to show off your out-of-this-world taste by rocking the new KEXP “Space Bear” tee!
