Glad you saw this, Stella!
I really miss having Jim Keller on my radio Sunday mornings :-(
He covered the retro/returning acts like no one else. Always tipped the concerts, usually gave away tix, and most importantly did a superlative job of putting these artists in context -- what bands/movements inspired them (& vice versa); the solo/spinoff efforts that followed; and salient reunion details. That encyclopedic coverage was especially valuable for acts who'd fallen out of the spotlight on this side of the pond in the pre-internet/pre-myspace era.

His show was the only place I heard about X and The Cult touring & also broke the news of the B-52's new album, incl first Seattle airplay of the track "FunPlex."

Can't believe such a quality program & contributor to the Seattle radio dial has been lost due to random whims of the mindless corporate media machine. That Sunday Resurrection Show had a ton of listeners, and I hope some other station will be smart & give it a much deserved new home.

Just to clarify, the presale is today, April 9!

Oh, and @ Jessica: Amen, sister. I'm seriously upset about the demise of Resurrection Hour/Jim Keller's show. That was the only real reason I ever listened to The End -- but I listened religiously, every Sunday.

I was horrified the first weekend that I turned on the radio to hear Death Cab followed by Vampire Weekend followed by The Strokes. I thought either I'd fallen asleep for 15 years and these bands were now "retro" or else, the worst.
