This song harkens back to the 80s when I became friends with many of the DJs at KALX in Berkeley. I could walk one block up from Telegraph Avenue, onto Bowditch Street, and just like that, I was in the coolest radio station on the planet and could request a song. Their vinyl library was massive: Punk, Reggae, Hip Hop, Soul … you name it. My early music education came from hanging out there. The first time I heard any great band, I heard it on that station.

Operation Ivy played live at KALX in 1987. We just had two microphones in the studio – two DJ mics. One to mic the band, and the second mic was used for the vocals. KALX now actually resides on the Cal Berkeley campus. I still love to listen to it whenever in the East Bay.
