We wish the firefighter had caught on tape the moment he realized the green and grey paper on the side of I-90 was not just your average litter, but more than $15,000. "That's money," we picture him saying with giddy bewilderment, turning to his passengers, who probably thought at first he was just emphatically agreeing with and expressing the value of whatever John In The Morning had just said on KEXP. "Yeah, man, that's money!" "No! Money!" Sadly, the cash turned out to be fake, and the honorable firefighter turned in all $15,470 to the State Patrol yesterday. Giant scam foiled or performance art gone awry? We may never know.

KEXP moved ahead yesterday with its plan to broadcast on a radio station in New York City. Hopefully you remember the gist of the story, but if not, a bit more than a month ago, the station announced a partnership with Radio New York called Radio Liberation. The plan at the time was to export six hours of programming to a terrestrial radio station in NYC.

Announced earlier today, the next John in the Morning at Night will take place Friday, March 7th at Neumo's. The lineup so far is the jagged blues-leaning Britrock of The Duke Spirit, the swagger-heavy post-punk of The Voom Blooms (above), and the solid psych alt-country of Tulsa. The latter two bands have never played Seattle before, so this is your first chance to catch 'em live. And who knows? When it comes to KEXP shows, another band or two could always get added to the bill.
